New water glass formula, for diatom phytoplankton strains. This is required to grow; Thalassiosira weisflogii, Chaetoceros calcitrans & Pheaodactylum tricornutum. This is a vital element thats required to be used with F/2.
If you are buying our phytoplankton strains they have been fed and have cell density to support 2 ml of silicate per gallon of phytoplankton culture. If you are using our product on a strain that hasn't been introduced to this level, it's recommended to use half the amount as stated. 1ml per gallon on strains that have not been exposed to high silicate levels. New diatom growth will flourish as more silicate is available for them to consume throughout the 7-10 growing period.
Add 2ml per 1 gallon of phytoplankton culture water. Do not premix with other F/2 before you're ready to use. We recommend having your culture water and phytoplankton start in the vessel before adding silicate.
This must be used with F/2 and does not contain everything needed to grow phytoplankton this is only a silicate additive.
Our new silicate is 18%. Each bottle contains 250ml, or 125 gallons of water volume of silicate
This product is caustic, sds code on every bottle and wash off immediately if this comes in contact with skin, eye call poison control if swallowed.
If you'd like a larger size please text or email use. We can offer silicate water glass in 16 ounce and 32 ounce bottles.
Decrease use if leftover silicate is found at bottom of the container, do not use phytoplankton with leftover silicate in the bottle. Removal of silicate chunks are required before feeding phytoplankton to your reef aquarium.
We are not responsible for any additional silicate added to your aquarium from improper use of this additive.
Thal cultures maintain their brown color with this additive

Excellent phyto and pods and quick shipping.

Excellent quality phyto, very dark and quick shipping
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!
I’m on the 3rd generation from the Rhodomonas Salina culture from Reef Legends. I would not hesitate to buy again!
Very pleasant experience from the communication to the ordering, to the products in hand, five star service at its best. Additionally, some of the most generous bottles of pods I have ever seen, to say that they were stacked would be kind of an understatement. Definitely give them a shot and order today!!!!
