Application and dosage of Chaetoceros sp.

Shake the bottle well before use. To feed your reef inhabitants already 50 ml per 100 liters are sufficient. Always store the bottle in a cool and dark place (refrigerator).

Notes on the cultivation of Chaetoceros sp.

Chaetoceros belongs to the group of diatoms, which require silicate for their growth. It is therefore essential to use a silicate component in the fertiliser 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.

Notes on the delivery time of live plankton

We only ship "ready to harvest" plankton to you - that means a culture with high density and free of fertiliser. The optimal time of filling may delay the delivery time. If we are unable to make an express delivery on your desired delivery date, we will contact you to make further arrangements.
