PhytoGreen M - FAQ

What is PhytoGreen-M?
PhytoGreen-M is a concentrated liquid phytoplankton suspension designed to feed corals and filter-feeding marine organisms.

What does PhytoGreen-M do?
It provides a dense source of phytoplankton that supports feeding response, growth, and overall reef health.

What organisms benefit from PhytoGreen-M?
It is ideal for soft corals, clams, sponges, tunicates, tube worms, and larval invertebrates.

What is PhytoGreen-M made from?
It is based on Tetraselmis sp., a unicellular marine algae known for its high nutritional value.

What nutrients does PhytoGreen-M provide?
It is rich in omega-3 fatty acids such as EPA, essential amino acids, and chlorophyll A.

What is the particle size of PhytoGreen-M?
It provides phytoplankton in the 10 to 15 micron range, suitable for many filter feeders.

Why is particle size important?
Proper particle size allows efficient capture and digestion by corals and suspension-feeding organisms.

How concentrated is PhytoGreen-M?
It contains over 650 million phytoplankton cells per milliliter, delivering highly concentrated nutrition.

How does PhytoGreen-M enhance coloration?
It is supplemented with a proprietary amino acid that helps improve coloration in invertebrates.

Does PhytoGreen-M support coral health?
Yes, its nutrient profile supports tissue development and overall vitality in corals and filter feeders.

How is PhytoGreen-M used?
It can be target fed directly to organisms or broadcast into the aquarium for general feeding.

What is the recommended dosing approach?
A small daily dose is typically used and adjusted based on system demand and nutrient levels.

Why should dosing be increased gradually?
Gradual increases allow biological filtration to adapt and help maintain stable water quality.

Should filtration be turned off during feeding?
Yes, temporarily turning off protein skimmers and mechanical filtration improves feeding efficiency.

How long should filtration remain off?
Filtration can typically be resumed after about 10 to 15 minutes.

Should the product be shaken before use?
Yes, shaking ensures even suspension of phytoplankton before dosing.

Does PhytoGreen-M require refrigeration?
No, it does not require refrigeration, though storing it in a cool area can extend shelf life.

Can PhytoGreen-M be overdosed?
Yes, excessive dosing can increase nutrient levels and negatively impact water quality.

Can PhytoGreen-M be used with other foods?
Yes, it can be combined with zooplankton and other planktonic foods for a complete feeding regimen.

What results can I expect from using PhytoGreen-M?
Improved feeding response, enhanced coloration, better growth, and healthier filter-feeding organisms.
