Here at REEF NEEDS we do one thing, and boy do we do it well

Top QUALITY PHYTOPLANKTON

We are commercial growers who supply to trade and public

We cultivate many different strains of phytoplankton to make our multi-mix, which gives your corals a more diverse feed, to replicate nature. You would not feed your fish the same thing day in day out so why limit your corals diet?

BENEFITS OF FEEDING

WHY FEED PHYTOPLANKTON? WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?

First let me tell you what phyoplankton is.

Phytoplankton are basically tiny floating plants (such as diatoms and dinoflagellates), small herbivorous critters eat them and they in turn are eaten by bigger critters, so they are the first and most IMPORTANT link in the entire food chain. Almost all visible life in the oceans is supported by phytoplankton in one form or another.

Most of the animals on a coral reef are very effective at capturing either zooplankton, phytoplankton or both from the water that passes over them. Many of these animals capture phytoplankton directly, and the ones that cant (such as fish) gain from feeding phytoplankton by eating the animals that do, such as copepods,rotifers and mysis. There are a number of ESSENTIAL nutrients provided by phytoplankton that are EXTREMELY important in a healthy diet.

The MOST important of these nutrients are the class of lipids known as omega-3 fatty acids. These nutrients come almost EXCLUSIVELY from marine algae, and without these nutritional deficiencies or arrested development are still common problems.

Phytoplankton is an ESSENTIAL component in the diet for many reef inhabitants such as fan worms,sea apples,giant clams,gorgonians and tunicates to name just a few. It is easy to feed freeze dried or frozen to your fish and large invertebrates in your tank, REEF NEEDS now make it easy for you to feed nutritious particles the size of one 500th of a millimeter in diameter to your corals. There are many coral reef animals that feed on particles far smaller than any provided by typical fish foods and these tiny floating plants provide ESSENTIAL nutrients and form the basis of most marine food.

Neither the particle size nor the nutritional content of phytoplankton is easy to recreate in any artificial food product, and even dried forms suffer in terms of particle size relative to live cultures. Unfortunately the feeding mode of many reef animals does not allow them to capture anything but these tiny particles, and so to keep these animals these foods MUST be available. There are many animals on a typical reef that require phytoplankton to survive and there are plenty of others that benefit from adding such tiny food particles.

Live phytoplankton is obviously the best option in terms of nutritional value and low risk of overfeeding. Live cultures are the standard by which all other products are judged, and the others can be "as good as live" but no one has ever discovered a phytoplankton supplement that performs better than live. An additional benefit is that live phytoplankton, unlike dead products, can actually take up some nutrients while being fed to the aquarium, and it is almost impossible to foul an aquarium through adding live phytoplankton.

SO NOW WE HAVE DONE THE TECHNICAL STUFF, WHY BUY REEF NEEDS PHYTOPLANKTON?

First of all we are a commercial grower so the supply is vast and always fresh and live GUARANTEED,

Home brews advertising as multi-species; to culture multi species each separate species has to be cultured separately and added together after culturing. If all the strains were cultured together then a dominant strain would take over leaving the culture a single species. If advertising a eight species mix the cultures MUST be in eight separate cultures, something the average home brewer just does not have the resources for.

Here at REEF NEEDS we only use the best ingredients. The salt is red sea coral pro mixed to a salinity of 33.0 sg, and reverse osmosis water (ro) to a TDS (total dissolved solids) of zero. The equipment used is sterilized so the cultures do not become tainted.

We as hobbyists spend thousands of pounds on our marine aquariums (go on add it all up) so why risk what we put in the aquarium to feed our corals? do we seriously want to be loading up phosphates and adding to the bio-load? If like me your answer is no then feed a live product.

THERE IS NOBETTER FOOD FOR YOUR CORALS THAN LIVE PHYTOPLANKTON.
