Received my order very fast and was packaged. Nice nicely.
Love the rhodo culture. Two very dark harvests so far. Pods and rotifers love it. NPS and sponges seem to be responding well too.

Isochrysis galbana requires overnight shipping and to have the culture running the day of arrival to get our 3 day guarantee.
Isochrysis galbana can have issues and does not tolerate being refrigerated before culturing. This strain can crash frequently, it is recommended to keep a back up going incase of a crash. Upon arrival it is recommended to keep in lower light or non direct light for the first few days after receiving.
Isochrysis galbana is known for is rich gold coloration, aka Tahitian gold blend of phytoplankton. One of two algae's that contain high fucoxanthin and gallic acid content with significant antioxidant activity.(Foo et al., 2017) science direct.com
Isochrysis galbana is a haptophyta micro algae, is a rich in PUFAs, EPA and DHA known for its carotenoids and chlorophyll. This strain blooms heavy and provides excellent nutrition for pods, rotifers and corals.
The cultures arrived lookibg good and good quality.. I had mqny questions about how ro culture correctly and Reef Legends was there to answer them all
Arrived as expected. Culture is doing great!
High Quality product
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.
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.

Reef Legends is the real deal. Not sure where to start, honestly. Deep knowledge, high-quality cultures, and real support when it comes to phytoplankton. The guidance and consultations alone were worth it. Huge thanks for the quality and the help 👍
Magnificent phytoplankton, super green, and all the pods arrived alive.Thank you for the candies.
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.
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!!!
