The Continuum advantage.
Continuum Aquatics Phyto Blast Invert Foods wide range aquacultured marine phytoplankton complex for live corals & reef aquaria with a wide range of vitamins, Omega fatty acid, EPA and DHA for vivid colours and overall health.
Phyto Blast is a nutritious complex of several naturally occurring marine phytoplankton in a wide range of sizes from 1 to 20 uM.
Phyto Blast is real phytoplankton, aquacultured in saltwater under pristine conditions, not simply a mixture of freshwater algae or ground up vegetables.
It provides for growth and increased colouration, by providing proteins, naturally occurring lipids, including important omega fatty acids EPA and DHA, and a wide range of vitamins.
It also contains chlorophyll, carotenoids, astaxanthin, zeaxanthin and canthaxanthin for colouration. Phyto Blast does not require refrigeration, but refrigeration will prolong shelf life.
Use in aquarium keeping.
Phyto Blast is useful for feeding hard and soft corals, sponges, filter feeding worms, tunicates and clams of all types.
It is particularly suited for those that feed on microplankton.
It is recommended that you turn off your protein skimmer and other filtration for 15 to 30 minutes prior to adding the Phyto Blast to the aquarium.
Be careful when feeding liquid foods, not to overload the system.
It is recommended that you not add more than the recommended dosage of any food per day.
Continuum recommends that the hobbyist vary the types and sizes of foods delivered into the reef aquarium.
Other Continuum foods that make good choices for this food rotation include Coral Exponential, Micro Blast, Zoo Blast and Ocean Snow.
Also, occasionally blending the foods and using them as soaks for other foods will give your invertebrates a variety simulating nature.
Vary the time of day for feeding, as well, being sure to feed at night for those organisms that primarily feed nocturnally.
Many corals feed primarily at night, extending their tentacles and mesentarial filaments, using their nematocysts to capture prey, and entrapping prey on their sticky tentacles with mucus and drawing it into their mouths.
