Brightwell Aquatics PhytoChrom is a concentrated suspension of
six different species of marine algae ranging in size from 1 -
30µm and having an extremely diverse tional profile, rich in
a number of ty s including the omega-3 ty s EPA,
ARA, and DHA, as well as in chlorophyll, carotenoid pigments,
s, minerals, and several important amino s. Of
particular interest are omega-3 ty s and pigments, for
these substances have been shown to provide tremendous benefit to
the overall and coloration of filter feeding and
planktivorous organisms. The algae in PhytoChrom fall within
three size classes of plankton: picoplankton (0.2 - 2.0µm),
nanoplankton (2.0 - 20.0µm), and microplankton (20.0 - 200.0µm).
They are the proper size for feeding many species of soft corals
(particularly those with short tentacles), as well as clams and
other bivalves, sponges, tunicates (sea squirts), plumed worms
(Christmas tree worms, feather dusters, etc.), bryozoans, larval
invertebrates such as those of many crustaceans and bivalves, and
juvenile fishes. PhytoChrom may be used in conjunction with other
planktonic suspensions to provide a complete range of sizes to
filter-feeding and planktivorous organisms. PhytoChrom does not
require refrigeration, however storage in a cool, shaded area
will prolong the activity of the s. Refrigeration will
maximize the shelf-life of the product. Provides 6 types of
phytoplankton ranging in size from1 - 30µm. Ideally-sized for
many soft corals, clams, sponges, tunicates, tube worms,
bryozoans, larval crustaceans, and juvenile fishes. Formulated to
provide over 200-million phytoplankton cells per ml. Does not
require refrigeration. Supplemented with a proprietary amino
to aid in coloration of invertebrates. Formulated by a marine
scientist.

Guaranteed Analysis: Moisture (max) 97.10%, crude protein (min) 0.45%, crude (min) 0.23%, crude fiber (min) 0.85%, ash (max) 3.10%. Ingredients: Purified water, Haematococcus sp., Nannochloroposis sp., Tetraselmis sp., Isochrysis sp., Pavlova sp., Thalassiosira sp., Ascorbic , Citric . Instructions and Guidelines Shake product well before using. Turn protein skimmer and other forms of mechanical filtration off prior to adding food suspensions to aquaria, and allow 10 - 15 minutes after feeding before resuming operation of filtration. Target Feeding (recommended): Target feeding may be carried out with a lengthy piece of rigid air tubing, plastic syringe, pipette, dropper, or similar device; pour 5 ml (1 capful) into a small container and suck a portion of this into the feeding device, then slowly discharge the contents of the device 2 - 4” upstream of the target organism(s). Repeat these steps as deemed necessary. Rinse the portion (inside and outside) of the feeder that was placed into aquarium water before placing it into this bottle (if feeding directly from the bottle rather than from a separate container); failure to do so will contaminate the product and encourage it to decompose. Broadcast Feeding: Add up to 5 ml per 50 gallons of water in the entire aquarium system in an area of rapid water movement daily for the first four weeks of use; thereafter, the dosage may be increased as desired. Notes: Add no more than 5 ml total of liquid food suspensions per 50 gallons of water in the entire aquarium system daily for the first four weeks of use; thereafter, the dosage may be gradually increased as desired. Starting out at a low dosage and gradually increasing it with time will allow the biological filtration in the aquarium to adjust to the increase in ents and prevent water quality from deteriorating. Planktonic food suspensions (such as this one) are best utilized by target feeding specific invertebrates in an aquarium; in doing so, the majority of the food may be consumed by the int.
