Application and dosage of Chaetoceros sp.
Shake the bottle well before use. To feed your reef inhabitants, 50 ml per 100 liters per day is sufficient. Always store the bottle in a cool, dark place (refrigerator).
Notes on the cultivation of Chaetoceros sp.
Chaetoceros belongs to the group of diatoms, which require silicate for their growth. Therefore, be sure to use a silicate component in the fertilizer for cultivation. In our experience, Chaetoceros is a good alternative to Isochrysis , as it is easier to cultivate and can be used in almost the same way. According to the literature, the cultures tolerate comparatively higher temperatures (>20 °C) and more light very well.
Information on delivery times for live plankton
We only send you "ready to harvest" plankton - that is, a culture with a high density and free of fertilizer. The optimal time of bottling can delay the delivery time. If we are unable to provide an express delivery on your desired delivery date, we will contact you to arrange further arrangements. In standard shipping, we generally only send the plankton on Mondays or Tuesdays so that the shipment arrives before the weekend.
