Our in house blend of single phytoplankton cultures combined at peak concentrations and never diluted. This blend has everything you could ask for!
While other brands have one strain or a limited amount of strains in their blend we have multiple. Cover all your basis with one PhytoBlend, we recommend inverting the bottle before each feeding to redistribute all the cells, then feeding 5ml per 10 gallons of water volume.
For best shelf life, store in the back of the fridge away from the light, with temperatures ranging from 37-42 degrees. We store phytoplankton at 37 degrees in a fridge with no light source.
This is an exceptional mix of phytoplanktons that will make your corals feel like they are back in the ocean. Feeding this blend will help reduce nitrates, phosphate and silicates in your water column while providing the essential building blocks most corals feed on naturally. Rhodomonas is the essential building block to add more color to your corals, a strain that you that's hard to come by.
Feeding during the day, when your lights are on with the return pump off will maximize the benefits of reducing your nitrates and phosphates. To increase your copepod population, feeding after your lights are off and turn off your return pump for 30-60 minutes. This will allow your wave makers to distribute the phytoplankton across your entire reef all to consume.
Contains the following phytoplanktons:
Green phytoplanktons: Nannochloropsis oculata,Tetraselmis chui, Chlorella, Dunaliella tertiolecta, Japanese Chlorella, Chlorella vulgaris.
Golden phytoplanktons: Tisochrysis lutea, Pavlova, Isochrysis galbana.
Red phytoplankton: Rhodomonas salina, Rhodomonas lens, Porphyridium creuntum
Diatom strains include: Chaetocerors calcitrans, Pheaodactylum tricornutum, Thalassiosira weissfloggii.
Want a custom blend reach out, we can blend any of our phyto's to your unique preference.
Phytoplanktons are harvested and stored each week for shipping. Our Red and Gold phytoplanktons are harvested on Monday & Wednesday each week and chilled each morning before shipping.
You will never get old phytoplankton when you order with us. We clean all our phytoplankton storage containers each week and feed our copepods, rotifers and brine shrimp what we produce in house.
I've been using the phyto blend from Reef Legends for close to a year now and it's the best phyto on the market. Customer service is amazing and the price is more than fair.
We love using the 12 blend phyto and all other products always fresh and the corals love it.
Excellent quality phyto, very dark and quick shipping
Amazing product, I love it
I’ve been buying 3 diff types of Phyto, diff types es/mixes of pods & my rotifers from 3-4 diff vendors for a while now (4 species blend from Algae Depot on eBay, red & gold from TSA Reef Genetics -which never seemed to last longer than a few days before the rhodo turned green - and pods/rotifers from Pod Your Reef (AlgaeBarn before that) and a TON of random vendors on eBay too hoping I’d find something I really liked… but NEVER AGAIN. Not only was I never all to happy with any of their products, but I was also wasting money on all the different shipping too. Anyway, I stumbled onto Reef Legends thru my Shop App, n thought I’d give it a try, as they have every type of phyto single strains I’ve ever heard of and many that I never heard of before, along with a 10 species blend that’s just amazing. And the pods and rotifers are also better than any other vendor I’ve ever used. And over the years, I’ve tried MANY. This is my new go to one stop shop for all my planktonic needs!!! As long as Reef Legends is in business I will be a DEDICATED customer!! 😎👍👍

Skyler went above and beyond with my purchases as usual! He answered all of my questions and the phyto, pods and rotifers were some of the best I've ever received! Can't recommend Reef Legends enough and they have a customer for life! Hoping they don't add anymore strands as I wouldn't be able to not buy them!

After purchasing a beautiful Mandarin Dragonet, I was in search of a sustainable way of keeping him well-fed. Reaching out thru chat, I got a timely response from Skyler, who got me set up with a kit that has everything I needed to start culturing two different kinds of pods. When I received the order, my Tigriopus pods were mostly DOA. I informed Skyler right away, and he sent me replacements at no cost, which arrived, healthy, soon after. Skyler responds to my many questions via chat in a timely manner, and is always courteous and helpful. Just harvested my first batch of pods! Super cool! Great products and awesome customer service!
Very satisfied with the shipping and the quality of the elegance. Can’t wait to see and buy more from you guys. Thank you.
Tons and tons of pods that were happy, healthy, and great eaters! The rotifers took very well to my tank and my juvenile fish and corals love them!
As for the phytoplankton, it was perfect. Nice and dark, did it's job well, and keeps well in the fridge too!
Bottles were sturdy and clearly labeled.
Can't reccomend Reef Legends enough!

Harvested dark green about 10 days after receiving. Going strong.
