Aquarium Services will initially stock Reef Crew Phytoplankton and will offer other products with time. In order to ensure that the Live Marine Food is at its freshest; Reef Crew will be delivering to their location on Saturday Morning each week.
Phytoplankton are very important to marine organisms, because as primary producers in the oceans , phytoplankton are crucial to the development and survival of most, if not all marine animals at some level. But what are phytoplankton? Phytoplankton are tiny floating plants which serve the same role in the food chains of the oceans as grass and shrubs serve on land; namely small things eat them, which are in turn eaten by bigger things, and so on down the line. Many coral reef animals feed directly on phytoplankton, and even those that do not, rely ultimately on the nutrition gained from phytoplankton and other marine algae eaten by other organisms. Some essential nutrients provided by marine algae, phytoplankton in particular, cannot be synthesized by animals, and are therefore extremely important components of a healthy diet.
The most important of these nutrients are the class of lipids known as long chain Omega-3 fatty acids.
Despite the fact that phytoplankton form the basis of marine food webs in general, and are an essential component of the diet for many reef creatures (such as fan worms, sea apples, corals, clams, and tunicates), they are probably the least common element included in feeding an aquarium.
The benefits of phytoplankton to most reef creatures is great. With the availability of Reef Crews Live Marine Phytoplankton, you can now give your reef tank every opportunity to succeed by providing this important food source to your animals.
