Many of you probably know that Seachem is producer of the aquavitro line of aquarium products that is sold exclusively to brick and mortar retail stores but did you know they just came out with two new phytoplankton supplements for your corals?
aquavitro phytogen
Phytogen (and triphytogen) are cultivated in a sterile, hermetically sealed, FDA certified facility using aquavitro salinity sea salt. Because it is not grown in an exposed open environment, phytogen is free of external contamination and does not contain any dyes, toxins, or fillers. Phytogen is an excellent source of EPA which has been shown to be extremely nutritionally beneficial for fish and coral.
Directions for use:
Shake well before use. Add 5-10 mL (1-2 tsp) of phytogen™ per 40 L (10 US gallons) of water directly into the aquarium. Dose every other day. Dosing can be adjusted based on aquarium populations and their needs. This product needs to be kept refrigerated between uses.
Triphytogen is a premium concentrated blend of Nannochloropsis, Isochrysis, and Tetraselmis phytoplankton. The food was developed as an exceptional feed for corals, clams, various copepods, and filter feeding animals. triphytogen is concentrated at 70-120 million cells per milliliter and it is also available in a super-concentrated formula at 0.7-1 billion cells per milliliter.
aquavitro triphytogen
Triphytogen is ideal for aquariums up to 280 L (70 US gallons). For larger aquariums, Seachem recommends using triphytogen concentrate.
Directions for use:
Shake well before use. Add 5-10 mL (1-2 tsp) of triphytogen™ per 40 L (10 US gallons) of water directly into the aquarium. Dose every other day. Dosing can be adjusted based on aquarium populations and their needs. This product needs to be kept refrigerated between uses.
