Introducing the newest strain of phyto at Semper Phyto Isochrysis galbana.

This is a very important species of phytoplankton, as it has a high protein content and lipid composition which essential for the health of your reef. Long fatty acid chain, including eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Omega-3 (ω-3) fatty acids are essential components of marine species health. Each cell has a tail-like flagella so it can remain in the water allowing the cells to survive in reef conditions and thus uneaten cells do not immediately become waste. Is a hungry nitrate and phosphate consumer and will extract these from the water column until the cells are eaten.
Isochrysis galbana a long fatty acid chain, including eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Omega-3 (ω-3) fatty acids are essential components of marine species health.

Isochrysis galbana is also a good food source if you have cultures of pods as a food source. Although you can refigerate Iso, however it is not recommended if you plan to start a culture as ISO does not tolerate cold conditions. It is recommended to use as soon as you get your shipment.

I have avaible a 32oz 50/50 mix of Nannochloropsis and Tetraselmis $20/32oz shipped or local pickup.

Also first batch of Isochrysis galbana avaible 16oz for $20 and 32 oz for $35. This type of phyto does not likw to be refrigerated and it is preferred to use ASAP. Isochrysis is capable of building stores of fats and oils. Isochrysis is high in polyunsaturated fatty acids such as docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), stearidonic acid and alpha-linolenic acid. The Omega 3 composition of I. galbana is often over 22% total fatty acid content (the so-called Tahitian strain of Isochrysis is said to be especially rich in DHA). For this reason, it is frequently used to enrich live zooplanktonic feeds (rotifers, copepods, brine shrimp, etc.). It has been used effectively to feed very demanding phytoplanktivorous corals.

If you would like to pick up I am located in Abingdon 21009 and I am in Baltimore County(Towson area) 2-3 days a week.

After a long process Semper Phyto is glad to introsuce the newest product avaible Isochrysis galbana. Isochrysis galbana has the following benefits in our reef tanks:

Small particle size (less than 10 microns), can fit into the tiniest of mouths, provides corals with direct source of golden fats (EPA/DHA), while at the same time, enriching copepods and other grazeables. Each cell has a tail-like flagella it can use to remain in the water column - ISO can survive in reef conditions and thus uneaten cells do not immediately become waste. ISO is a hungry nitrate and phosphate consumer and will extract excess nutrients from the water column until the cells are eaten.

Iso will need to be used right away as it does not tolerate cold dark climates as does Nanno and Tet.

There is currently only a limited supply avaible which cost $25/16oz bottles. I am able to deliver as I will be at the following locations weekly:
