Although it's easy to overlook the often sedentary plankton filter feeders, sponges, soft corals, and leather corals meet part of their nutritional needs with phytoplankton. Natural phytoplankton is an important source of energy and nutrients for leather and soft corals, mussels, and other fine filter feeders. In nature, large volumes of water flow through the reef, supplying the corals with phytoplankton. In reef aquariums, this energy source must be replaced as naturally as possible to provide sufficient nutrients for movement and metabolism.
By activating the microflora, numerous vitamins and other vital nutrients are naturally added to the water. Corals and mussels open up more easily and display their full color splendor. Fish also benefit from the stable bacterial flora and the prebiotic effect – they develop robustly and demonstrate their vitality through flawless coloration.
Tropic Marin® Phyton is a balanced plankton substitute for all fine filter feeders in saltwater aquariums. A high-quality algae blend provides the animals with trace elements and energy-rich carbohydrates found only in the sea. Spirulina, a carotenoid-rich ingredient, and brewer's yeast, together with the fish's yeast, meet their natural B vitamin needs, especially vitamin B12.
