Pods also play a significant role in keeping your tank clean. As tiny detritivores, they eat leftover fish foods and other waste products. Since they are so small, they can fit into all the crevices of your live rock, eating food particles that settle where the rest of your cleanup crew cannot reach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCopepods can be added to a new tank as soon as the cycle is completed (ammonia reaches zero). Adding copepods so early can significantly help reduce the severity and duration of the dreaded new-tank \"ugly phase.\" If adding pods to a new tank with little detritus or uneaten food, be sure to feed them an adequate amount of phytoplankton.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCreate a monthly subscription to give your corals and finicky fish the nutrition they need and make them think they never left the ocean!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 'Segoe UI',sans-serif; color: #1f2124;\"\u003eLive Phytoplankton\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePhytoplankton is the basic building block of the ocean food chain. It adds biodiversity to your tank, while directly feeds corals, clams, copepods and other filter feeders. The copepods and other microfauna which feed on our live phytoplankton will in turn become food for your fish and corals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur live phytoplankton blend contains six different strains of phyto to provide balanced and well rounded nutrition for your tank’s inhabitants. Corals are like all other animals - they need a wide variety of minerals, vitamins, and fatty acids for optimal health. Simply feeding one or two species of phyto won’t provide the diversity of nutrients that our six species blend offers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eOur phytoplankton should be stored in the refrigerator and given a gentle shake every couple days.
