Live Phytoplankton is the basis of the marine food chain and the essential diet component for all reef inhabitants. 
 
At Dr.G's we grow under Laboratory conditions, Premium High Quality Microalgae. 
 
Dr.G's Phytoplankton is cultured until it reaches its highest nutritional value, and then harvested for you. We pack a very "clean" Phytoplankton, with no biological contaminants; every batch is run under our microscopes to ensure the best live microalgae. 
 
Why is Dr.G's Phyto Better & Different?
First of all we make a "Live" Product, we "Do Not" add Acids or other preservatives to it, we "Do Not" make it look thicker by using Gels or Alginate, and "Do Not" not add artificial coloring. 
 
Some of the other products in the market may look darker and thicker, simply because the above methods are used. 
 
To the layman, darker & thicker may look better, however these products only contain added chemicals not found naturally in the ocean and they contain no "live" phytoplankton. 
 
Furthermore the use of Acids reduces the pH of the formula to a pH below 4, reason why the competition cannot be used to target feed. 
 
Freeze dried and other so called "concentrated" or preserved products are "dead" Phytoplankton, packed with un-natural chemicals. When feeding these to your aquarium, if not consumed at once, they will decay, polluting your tank water (phosphates & nitrates). The decay chemicals (phosphates & nitrates) will fuel the production of unwanted nuisance algae. 
 
Last, our product is so fresh that is simply smells like the ocean. Our competitors are known for the "fetid, rotten eggs" smell that comes from the bottle when you open it; the fetid smell is produced by the death of Phyto, which produces sulfur. 
 
Other competitor's use masking chemicals, so when you smell the contents of the bottle, it smells like candy, is this as Mother Nature intended it to be? 
 
Dr. G's Live Phytoplankton is a blend of several Live Phytoplankton's, extremely rich in Omega 3 fatty acids, HUFA's, Antioxidants (EPA,), natural iodine and vitamins, which increase survival rates in larval fish and zooplankton. 
 
It is ocean's fundamental food web and provides the necessary essential amino acids, fatty acids, carbohydrates, vitamins and organic minerals to keep Corals and Clams flourishing. 
 
Dr.G's Live Phytoplankton uses the carbon dioxide produced by your tank inhabitants and release oxygen as a by-product, providing an excellent source of oxygen. 
 
Dr.G's Live Phytoplankton also helps the biological and chemical filter, Live Phytoplankton uses the nitrate and phosphate caused by animal waste, in the process of photosynthesis - it actually "cleans" your water from pollutants. 
 
Dr. G's Live Phytoplankton is freshly aquacultured, living micro algae and is the perfect nutrition for Corals, Filter Feeders, Invertebrates Zooplankton and small fish. Feather duster worms, soft corals, clams, tunicates, zooplankton and other reef inhabitants can't survive without phytoplankton. 
 
This all-natural, living organism will thrive in your tank until consumed, helping to keep your tank balanced and beautiful. 
 
Dr. G's Live Phytoplankton is not extracted or preserved and no preservatives or additives are needed. It is not a concentrated paste or spray dried. 
 
Dr. G's Live Phytoplankton is alive, fresh and you will see results in 2-4 weeks. 
 
Directions: Before use, shake bottle, shut skimmer off for 1 hour and dose. Wait one hour to re-start skimmer. 
 
Dosage: Minimum recommended dose 3 tbsp. (45 ml) per 50 gal. (189 l) three times a week. Dosage can be increased after 4 weeks to double or feed daily. You cannot overfeed, as these are live Phytoplankton, which if not consumed immediately will remain alive in your tank. 
 
Ingredients: Blend of aquacultured Live Phytoplankton's, tank cultured in sterilized natural seawater and under strict quality control. This product is 100% Natural, with no additives, binders, gels, preservatives or additives. 
 
Storage: Do not Freeze. Keep Refrigerated between 34 F-39 F (0-4 C). Phytoplankton will stay alive for up to 2 months in the refrigerator. Shake the bottle at least once a day to prevent the phytoplankton cells from falling out of suspension and collecting on the bottom, as aggregates at the bottom will smother and die off. 
 
Warning: Not for Human consumption. For Aquarium Use Only. Keep out of reach of children.
