Excellent mix of diatoms that will replicate in your system and one of the most important tools you can use when fighting Dino’s - I actually dose this into newer set ups as it gets diatoms growing on the surfaces which in term out compete the other nuisance algae’s which are so much harder to deal with - then once a system is matured / stable you can back off adding silica and let the diatoms consume all the silica in the system - then they will quickly fade away - corals and filter feeders love this stone as well

Thalassiosira weissflogii is a large diatom phytoplankton. This species can tolerate a wide variety of salinities from brackish to saltwater, we grow ours at 1.022 specific gravity. Thalassiosira weissflogii is used for raising shrimp commercially, most sites claim this is the best algae for rearing shrimp and our copepod cultures seem to love this strain as we never find many cells after 24 hours from feeding. This strain can reproduce asexually and sexually.
Thalassiosira weissflogii is known for HUFAs, EPA and DHA fatty acids. If you're raising copepods this strain should be in your arsenal of phytoplankton cultures.
We recommend using Florida Aqua Farms modified F/2 fertilizer on this strain with water glass or silicate water. We dose 5ml of FAF F/2 and 2ml of our silicate water per gallon of water volume.
