We received an order from RL almost a month ago and the culture is very clean and is growing very well. We are a commercial shellfish hatchery and appreciate receiving a good product at a fair price.

Excellent quality.
The Isochrysis was very high quality and has cultured very well. I ordered from another source prior to Reef Legends and it was no where near as good. The quality of the RL monoculture was clean and easy to grow. I will order from Reef Legends again.

Appreciate the help!
Just wanted to say thanks for all the help and support getting my first culture started! Great customer service and support! I probably would have failed several times starting out on my own.
I’ll definitely be a customer for a long time.

A little difficult... but very doable.
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!!!

Great phyto and great service!
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.
