Greenwater - Freshwater Phytoplankton

Greenwater - Freshwater Phytoplankton

$26.99Price every 2 weeks
Live multi-species freshwater phytoplankton for daphnia, moina, copepods, fish fry, and outdoor pond inoculation.
 
WHAT IT'S FOR
  • Live food for daphnia, moina, copepods, and rotifers: highly nutritious, doesn't foul the culture water like prepared foods do
  • First-food for fish fry: microscopic cells stay suspended and feed the infusoria that fry consume
  • Outdoor pond: absorbs excess nitrogen and phosphates, oxygenates the water, and feeds the second tier of the food chain.
  • Not for indoor freshwater display aquariums: phytoplankton can bloom in tank water and cause discoloration depending on your nutrient and lighting setup.  This is not a freshwater fish tank product. 
 
WHAT IT DOES IN PONDS & LAKES
  • Absorbs excess nitrogen and phosphate until depleted
  • Consumes carbon dioxide and produces oxygen as a photosynthesis byproduct
  • Reproduces continuously, providing an ongoing food source for daphnia, moina, copepods, minnows, and fingerlings
  • Improves water quality and supports a thriving aquatic food web
 
WHAT'S IN THE BAG
Live, multi-species cultured freshwater phytoplankton in breather bags for reliable live delivery, cared for in closed-system photobioreactors with controlled nutrients, minerals, and lighting. Available in single bag, 2-pack, 3-pack, and 5-pack sizes.
 
HOW TO USE
Acclimate the bag to the temperature of your destination water (float the bag for 30 minutes if outdoor pond temperature differs significantly). Once acclimated, add the entire bag directly to your culture or pond. For outdoor ponds, dispense into the water column. If you cannot use the entire bag right away, store the remainder in a separate container with light aeration and a strong light source to keep cells active.

  • How to Use

    Acclimate the bag to the temperature of your destination water (float the bag for 30 minutes if outdoor pond temperature differs significantly). Once acclimated, add the entire bag directly to your culture or pond. For outdoor ponds, dispense as far from the shoreline as possible so cells don't wash ashore. If you cannot use the entire bag right away, store the remainder in a separate container with light aeration and a strong light source to keep cells active.

  • Best For

    Daphnia, moina, copepods, rotifer cultures, fish fry first-feeding, outdoor pond and lake inoculation. Not for indoor freshwater display aquariums: phytoplankton can bloom in tank water and cause discoloration depending on your nutrient and lighting setup.
