Super Green
The next generation of phyto
Phyto plankton is one of the essential foods for enhancing life in reef tanks. We were one of the first companies to offer live phyto after we had great success feeding our own tanks with it. Super Green takes feeding to the next level. Super Green is a blend of species that provides a broader range of sizes allowing a greater diversity of species to feed. The high density of culture means that you need to use less to feed the same size of tank. From our farming work and 5 years of feeding phyto plankton we can now offer an enhanced fortified formulation that provides nutrition to a broader range of life. In an emergency dead phyto products will help but if you want to maintain a broader mix of inverts and micro life live stuff is the only way.

SPECIAL DELIVERY
One of the problems experienced with phyto is the clumping of cells, making the particle size too large for many animals. This is a problem inherent in long shelf life products. Our standing order service allows you to receive Super Green directly to your door every other week, sign up for this service and you will be giving your tank regular doses of the next generation food.

Why Super Green is different
It is a blend of different sizes of phyto.
Rather than a monoculture offering only a single species, this allows a broader range of creatures to utilise the cells.Super Green has a high cell density This means you need less to feed your tank.

Super Green is fortified with additional food elements
From our farming work and 5 years of feeding phyto plankton we can now offer an enhanced formulation that provides nutrition to a broader range of life.

Live Product
In an emergency dead plankton will help but if you want the full benefit, then a live product is vastly superior.

Special Delivery Service
One of the drawbacks of many of the products on the shelf, is that the regular settlement of cells, leads to clumping making the cells too large for many animals to utilise. This becomes progressively worse over time, which is why we now offer Super Green on a new standing order basis. Simply subscribe to this service and a bottle of fresh Super Green will be mailed to you every other Wednesday. This will provide you with fresh supplies of the product rather than a product that has been sat on the shelf for too long. Subscribers receive a special discount over the normal retail price.

 

Feeding Super Green
Super Green is available in 250ml 500ml 1tr bottles dependent on your stocking density and can be added to aquariums in a number of ways. Several of these methods are described below.

Slackers method
Probably the way most of us dose additives to the aquarium shake the bottle and pour in a measured or not amount of the product. This is not as bad as it seems as it is low on time and at least you are bothering to make the effort to feed the animals in the tank. The main drawback with this system is the food does not stay very long in the water column being removed by filters and skimmers.

Middle Ground Method.
A more practical and not too demanding approach is to shut off the skimmers for a couple of hours and dose the phyto directly to the tank, we normally recommend about 1 hour before lights out. So those animals that feed only at night can also benefit. A slight improvement on this is to mix the phyto with a litre of tank water and drip-feed the product into the tank over a couple of hours. This will allow for a longer feeding period.
