Phytoplankton
Phytoplankton are microscopic photosynthetic organisms that are responsible for over 50% of the oxygen production on earth. Naturally occurring in large blooms in the ocean acres or miles wide. On a reef, these tiny micro algae pass through and over the coralscapes, getting consumed by the billions.
The specific species chosen for Quantum Phytoplankton have been selected due to their ideal nutrient profile as well as their ability to remove waste from the water. Not only is phytoplankton excellent for coral growth, damage restoration, and vivid coloration, but it also gets consumed by the copepods and microlife in your reef, allowing them to proliferate rapidly. Additionally, this increase in microfauna provides a great natural food source for fish and other creatures in the aquarium.
What makes feeding live phytoplankton different from adding a powder or pellet supplement to the tank is that the phytoplankton will stay suspended in the water column and consume excess nutrients from the water, compared to a powder or pellet which will do nothing but decay in the water column until removed. Not only is live phytoplankton a better choice to reduce the amount of added excess nutrients in the water, but it also is easier for corals to consume and process than a dry substitute.
