About REEFreshments®: Live Phytoplankton
REEFreshments®: Live Phytoplankton is a nutritious mixture of living phytoplankton, containing a combination of four different species of green and brown microalgae (Chaetoceros, Nannochloropsis, Isochrysis, and Tetraselmis), aquacultured in sterilized artificial seawater and harvested at optimal nutrition. The phytoplankton in REEFreshments®: Live Phytoplankton were selected for their superior nutritional qualities (high in essential Omega-3 fatty acids, EPA, and DHA; diverse amino acid, carbohydrate, and lipid profile; varied cell sizes, 1-17μ) and are the same species utilized by top universities and aquaculture facilities around the world.
Phytoplankton is the foundation of the marine food chain and an essential component to a balanced reef ecosystem. REEFreshments®: Live Phytoplankton is the perfect food for: corals, clams, feather dusters, scallops, tunicates, copepods, and other invertebrates. It can be used as a broadcast feed (dose entire aquarium) or as a target feed (spot-feed specific invertebrates). Regular dosing of REEFreshments®: Live Phytoplankton increases the coloration, growth, and polyp extension of corals, the development and vibrancy of your marine life, and boosts zooplankton populations, making REEFreshments®: Live Phytoplankton a perfect addition to any reef aquarium.
100% Natural — No Artificial Preservatives, Gels, Thickeners, or Additives
Unlike many other products on the market, REEFreshments®: Live Phytoplankton contains no preservatives, gels, thickeners, or additives of any kind. We do not use gels or alginate to make our product appear thicker, nor do we use artificial coloring to alter the color hue or shade of our algae. Additionally, we use clear packaging so that consumers can see what they are purchasing — At Aquaholic, we believe in transparency. REEFreshments®: Live Phytoplankton is harvested live and ships fresh each week, meaning that it will not decay and increase nitrate and phosphate levels — Rather, REEFreshments®: Live Phytoplankton will thrive in the aquarium until consumed, helping maintain a balanced reef ecosystem by serving as a biological filter (consuming nitrates, phosphates, and carbon dioxide, while simultaneously producing oxygen through photosynthesis). In fact, regular dosing of REEFreshments®: Live Phytoplankton helps to lower nitrate and phosphate levels in the aquarium, restrict the growth of nuisance algae, stabilize pH, and reduce the need for water changes.

About REEFreshments®: REVIVE™ Live Zooxanthellae
REEFreshments®: REVIVE is a multi-species live Zooxanthellae mix that enables coral recovery after stressful events. This one-of-a-kind product consists of multiple clades of Zooxanthellae -- The symbiotic microalgae that live in coral tissue (as well as in anemones, clams, etc.) and are responsible for the host's coloration and general health. Without Zooxanthellae, these corals/invertebrates will lose their color (bleach) and eventually starve to death, as the Zooxanthellae are necessary for growth and survival.
In addition to live Zooxanthellae, REVIVE also contains an extra microalgae (Rhodomonas sp.) added for supplemental live coral food. Rhodomonas has one of the highest polyunsaturated fatty acid concentrations, making it a perfect addition to REVIVE for nourishing your livestock back to health.
Through dosing with REVIVE, bleached corals (and/or other invertebrates) can recapture their previously expelled Zooxanthellae, and then these corals/invertebrates can feed on the Rhodomonas receiving the nourishment that they need to achieve their former glory.
As with all of our REEFreshments® product line, REVIVE is 100% aquacultured and live, and does not contain any preservatives or additives. REVIVE is cultured in-lab with sterilized artificial seawater and harvested at optimal nutrition, and has proven its effectiveness time and time again. Please consult our testimonials page for more information about our customers' success using REVIVE.
