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.
Awesome customer service!

Came perfect as before
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.

2nd time ordering from these guys and every batch have been great! The price, packaging and speed of delivery will not disappoint
After two failed attempts to culture R. Salina, I had given up. After watching Skyler's video, I mustered up the courage to try again. He explained there is a difference between phyto for feeding and phyto for culturing. I followed his procedure, and 9 days later I harvested. 1.5 quarts. The extra steps I took to sanitize everything, and to sterilize the media made a big difference. Thank you, Skyler!!!
Starter and harvest pics:
RL is my new go-to store for phyto. Skyler was extremely helpful by answering all of my questions quickly and concisely. I sent him pictures of my first harvest of T-iso, which was golden brown. He told me it would get darker, and he was absolutely correct. His video of how he cultures Rhodomonas Salina has given me the courage to try it again after two failed attempts. Pic of first T-iso harvest after 10 days, and of the 2nd harvest after 7 days.
The bottle of Tisochrysis lutea arrived quickly, and in great condition. I started the culture within an hour, and 10 days later I harvested a quart of beautiful Tahitian gold! It's a wonderful addition to my Tet and Nanno harvests that I'm feeding to my copepod cultures and tanks. Any questions I had were quickly answered, and all is going as planned. I'm a happy camper!!!
I received Rhodomonas Salina and isochrysis galbana phytoplankton as well as tibse and apocyclopse copepods and they are doing great! I have already harvested 6g of nice dark phyto and the pods love it. The pod cultures were swarming with nauplii and have since grown exponentially. My tanks are very happy with the added diversity. Highly recommend Reef Legends! Customer service was great too.
