## Overview

Mercer of Montana’s Live Marine Phytoplankton is an 8oz bottle of nutrient-dense Nannochloropsis microalgae, cultured using industry-standard methods to maximize growth and nutrient retention. Rich in highly unsaturated fatty acids (EPA & DHA), it enhances coral vibrancy and livestock survival while promoting beneficial copepod and amphipod populations. Sterile filtered and contaminant-free, it includes a free syringe for precise dosing, making it a must-have for professional reef keepers aiming for a thriving, vibrant aquatic ecosystem.

## Description

Nannochloropsis is a beneficial micro algae found throughout the world's oceans. This live phytoplankton has been cultured from an Agar sample, using the industry-standard Guillard f/2 medium formula to promote exponential growth, high nutrient retention, and longer viability. The genus Nannochloropsis is widely accepted as the standard for reef keeping aquarists, to promote the growth and vibrancy of corals, invertebrates, and other filter feeder livestock. This live phytoplankton may be used as an inoculant to propagate additional quantities, if desired. At Mercer of Montana, we adhere to the highest standards of sterile laboratory protocols, to ensure that each bottle of dense, vitamin rich Phytoplankton is contaminant-free. To obtain best results when feeding systemically, Mercer of Montana suggests the daily addition of 2-3ml to every 40 gallons of saltwater in your system, pouring directly into the display tank, or associated sump (the cap on this bottle will hold approximately .5 oz). Protein skimmer should be turned off during this time, to allow more of your phytoplankton to be absorbed by your livestock. Additionally, or in place of systemic feeding, this Phytoplankton may also be fed to your livestock directly, in order to target specific recipients. You may notice a small green cloud form when pouring into your water. This is normal and will disperse immediately throughout your system. To extend the viability of the contents past the 7-day growth cycle, remember to refrigerate contents immediately upon receipt and invert bottle(s) once daily. In this manner, contents should retain potency for up to 28 days. We always filter when bottling this Phytoplankton, so you know you're adding the highest level of purity to your livestock and display water.

Review: Phytoplankton dead - Received dead phytoplankton, it separate green and clear water.. 😔
Review: I put some of this in my saltwater tank to ensure the copepods had something to eat while colonizing a new tank and holy wow did their population explode after getting a taste of this stuff! Now the tank is acting as if it is a well established tank and I no longer need to be concerned about providing food for the copepods. But I only needed a little bit of this to add to my tank so I am unsure what I should do with the rest and feel bad about tossing it out. I wish the seller offered smaller bottle choices. I would highly recommend this stuff if you are trying to establish a copepod population in a new tank! I is apparently quite delicious to them!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do these light up like Dinoflagella?**
A: Not that I have witnessed, but maybe under the right (very rare if possible) conditions they could.

**Q: Will I bee able to see these creatures under a microscope?**
A: That would depend of how good a microscope you have. These are 1 celled plants (algae)

**Q: Any suggestion on how much to dose smaller tanks, such as those holding brine shrimp?**
A: I use this to feed to my copepods and baby brine shrimp cultures that I feed to my dwarf seahorses. Each are contained in about 2 quarts of water, and I dose the water betw 2-4ml daily or until the water is a tea colour. 
Here's what Mercer of Montana suggests:
"The daily addition of 2-3ml to every 40 gallons of saltwater in your system, pouring directly into the display tank, or associated sump (the cap on this bottle will hold approximately .5 oz). Protein skimmer should be turned off during this time, to allow more of your phytoplankton to be absorbed by your livestock." I believe that's for feeding anemones, etc. in a "reef" tank.

**Q: I have 150 Gall of water, will this 8oz last for a month?**
A: It will last for over a month if you put it in your sump. If you put it in your main tank during the middle of the day light you might not have much luck. If you do it with the lights off they might have a chance. Depends upon the availability of places to hide.
