Tridacnid clams get most of their energy from light in the form ofsugar and absorb nitrogen from the water column. They also needcomplex fats and protein that they only get from feeding on livephytoplankton. Tridacnid clams have the same organ systems foringesting or rejecting particles as the clams used in the above study.  DT's Live Marine Phytoplankton - Premium Reef Blend: Premium Reef Blend contains three nutritious species of algae anddiatoms; Nannochloropsis oculata, Phaeodactylum tricornutum andChlorella with a cell size from 2-20 microns.Premium Reef Blend provides excellent nutrition for the largest variety of reef inhabitants including, clams and other filter feedingmollusks, soft corals, gorgonians, feather duster worms, tunicates,sponges and zooplankton (copepods and invertebrate larvae). Theincrease in zooplankton will provide nutrition for stony corals.Premium Reef Blend is used by hobbyists andresearchers at major universities around the world.  DT's Live Marine Phytoplankton - For Nano Reef Aquariums Premium Reef Blend is so concentrated that hobbyists with nanoreef aquariums found that it was difficult to dose and they could notuse it up before the expiration date. DT's Live Marine Phytoplankton- For Nano Reef Aquariums is less concentrated for use in thesevery small aquariums.  Species selection: Only nutritious species of phytoplankton that survive refrigerated storage whileretaining their nutritional value are used. While the species commonly used incommercial aquaculture make for good marketing points, the claims are false because these species are only effective foods if used from actively growingculture. Isochrysis, Pavlova, Tetraselmis & Rhodomonas immediately lose theireffectiveness as a food if stored in a refrigerator, even if a small percentage ofcells remain alive for a short time. Adding preservatives does not change this fact.  Concentrated and cleaned: DT's Plankton Farm uses our proprietary process to gently concentrate and cleanour phytoplankton without damaging the living cells. The effect is concentratedwashed phytoplankton cells.We concentrate the phytoplankton, then we add clean saltwater and concentrateit again. The process is repeated 3 times.This process washes out most of the culture media to remove metals that maybuild up in reef aquariums and nutrients that would adversely affect the storage ofthese products.  Feeding phytoplankton - not contaminated water: DT's Live Marine Phytoplankton is 16 times the density of non-concentratedphytoplankton with only 8.3% of the culture media left in the final product.To feed a comparable amount of phytoplankton with a non-concentrated product,200 times the amount of contaminates are also added to the aquarium.  No preservatives or additives needed or used in any of ourlive phytoplankton products.
