Red Live Phytoplankton

Gold Phytoplankton
Tisochrysis lutea

Gold phytoplankton is a premium live microalgae, typically rich in essential fatty acids like DHA and EPA. Ideal for reef tanks, it nourishes filter feeders, enhances coral health, and supports the growth of copepods and other microfauna. Its golden hue reflects its dense nutritional content and bioavailability.

Key Benefits:

• Provides essential fatty acids (DHA/EPA) for corals and inverts

• Supports filter feeders, sponges, feather dusters, and bivalves

• Enhances copepod production in refugiums

• Promotes vibrant coral coloration and polyp extension

• Helps stabilize nutrients in low-nutrient reef systems

Use It For:

• Daily or alternate-day feeding of mixed reef tanks

• Boosting live food cultures (pods, rotifers, etc.)

• Supporting sensitive invertebrates and non-photosynthetic corals

Quick Facts:

• Ideal for: Reef aquariums, NPS corals, pod cultures

• Dosing: 5ml per 20 gallons; refrigerate after opening

• Compatibility: 100% reef-safe

• Appearance: Rich golden-brown liquid

• Shelf Life: 4–6 weeks refrigerated (check label)

Pro Tip: Gold phytoplankton is especially valuable in systems with SPS, clams, and invertebrates requiring high-nutrient microfeeds. Use in rotation with green phyto for a balanced nutritional profile.
