Tahitian Isochrysis, and Tetraselmis phytoplankton from 2 to 15 microns
(1 billion cells per drop). Rich in EPA, DHA and amino acids for
maximum benefit to marine invertebrates is optimal for feeding a
wide range of filter-feeders. Properly preserved, contains no alcohol;
Requires no refrigeration or freezing!
Directions:
Add
1 drop (0.10 ml) per 50-gallons to an 8-oz. container of aquarium
water, stir, and add this to the aquarium every other day. Observe
reaction of aquarium residents over 8-weeks and adjust dosage

Marine PhytoMax presents advanced reef hobbyists with a
super-concentrated suspension of whole, unicellular phytoplankton for a
broad range of filter-feeding invertebrates. PhytoMax is composed of
three species of phytoplankton with a size range of 2-15 µm
collectively, conducive to feeding SPS corals, sponges, clams,
scallops, bryozoans, tunicates, sea fans, filter-feeding sea cucumbers,
and many annelid worms such as feather dusters and Christmas tree
worms.
PhytoMax comprises one part of the Kent Marine Advanced Reef Care (ARC)
regimen. Using this product in conjunction with ChromaMax and ZooMax,
advanced reef hobbyists are able to provide an economical simulation of
the natural variety of plankton available to filter-feeders, hence
providing a more natural environment and proper nutrition to these
organisms in captivity. When using with other foods, alternate use of
products every other day or decrease dosage by half (if using two
products) or one-third (if using three products) and dose every other
day.
