Liquid Life BioPlankton (Phytoplankton), MarinePlankton, CoralPlankton |
Liquid Life BioPlankton can achieve the beauty and diversity of a reef by providing the planktonic life that is absent from aquariums, but essential for the development of a marine food web. Fish, Zooplankton, Filter Feeders, and Corals feed on plankton either directly or indirectly. With an average cell count of 10 billion cells per mL, a size range of 2-16 microns, and a broad nutritional profile, BioPlankton results in enhanced species diversity, density and reproducibility.
Fish only, or new reef, 1 pump per 60 gallons every other day. Aged reef 1 pump per 30 gallons daily. Mix in saltwater prior to use. BioPlankton can be used to enrich rotifiers and artemia. University tested, aquaculture proven, hobbyist approved.
Liquid Life MarinePlankton (MP) contains Cyclopeeze, a unique nutrient comprised of a micro-crustracean farmed by Argent Chemical Laboratories. Warning, MarinePlankton use will excite your fish! Used as a supplement feed, it will play a vital role in the coloration, growth and survivability of both fresh and saltwater fish. Through its buoyancy, MarinePlankton has an excellent capture rate by reef invertebrates like corals and crustaceans, and fish also eagerly accept this unique food. With more than 40 times the fatty acid content of Brine Shrimp, MarinePlankton can be used as a complete artemia replacement. By feeding your fish with a diet comprising up to 25% MP, they will reward you with increased immune-resistance, and enhanced sexual maturity. Feed only as much as your aquarium will consume in 3-5min. When freezer stored, MarinePlankton has a three year shelf life.

Liquid Life CoralPlankton (CP) provides an instant energy boost to improve the coral's growth rates and tissue repair. As an invertebrate feed, CoralPlankton targets carnivorous corals such as SPS and larvae that require small food particles; with a particle size of 20-200 microns and a concentration greater than 3,000 per mL, the nutrient-enriched rotifiers in CoralPlankton are easily ingested by SPS and gravity fed corals. Not only does CoralPlankton consist of rotifiers, but also Pavlova algae especially suited to feed Tridacnid clams. CP has a cell count of 1 billion cells per mL, size of 6-10 microns, and a unique profile of fatty acids. Since CP is a moist food, it has a positive acceptance rate and neutral buoyancy to remain suspended in the water column. CoralPlankton has a four month shelf life and should always be refrigerated.
