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.

Nannochloropsis is important species of phytoplankton, known for its high lipid composition; nannochloropsis is a long fatty acid chain, that's non motile unicellular and unflagellated green micro algae.
Nannochloropsis oculata is one of the fastest and easiest growing phytoplanktons out there. Nannochloropsis oculata has the ability to contaminant other strains when not properly handled. If you're looking into growing your first phytoplankton strains we recommend this strain as its one of the most forgiving and fastest growing for density.
We offer this cultivated strain in 16oz & 32oz bottles
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 👍
The Phyto was thick and alive. I couldn’t ask for more. This is not my first purchase and I plan to purchase from this store in the future.

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!!!
