The importance of an appropriate feed web within a captive reef system has become clearer every year, as we better understand the complex ecosystem that we are all here to recreate. The prevalence of bottled plankton solutions for sale in this hobby is a testament to the understanding that photosynthetic corals are healthiest when they receive the natural balance of energy, both from light and from plankton predation. And in this new era of breeding marine fish in captivity, sources of appropriately sized and sufficiently high-quality food for newly hatched larvae and juvenile fish is proving to be the limiting factor for success. There is no substitute for fresh, high-quality plankton reared at home; never refrigerated, frozen or processed.
The Clear Tides Plankton Light Reactor is a 2 gallon system for producing phytoplankton, the bottom rung on the food chain and an essential first stage culture for rearing larger zooplankton. The resultant micro algae can be fed directly to many filter-feeding invertebrates, offering a more consistently high quality food and at an enormous cost savings over using expensive, refrigerated, bottled solutions. Direct a portion of this phytoplankton culture directly to the aquarium and another portion into a Plankton Reactor to support a culture of zooplankton for the feeding of fish and invertebrates seeking a larger meal.Holds litres 9 (2 Imperial Gallons) Comes complete with lighting. Needs an additional air feed (not supplied)
