Nannochloropsis is a small, non-flagellated, green algae, that is high in Omega-3 fatty acids, EPA, DHA, and nucleic acids. This makes it an amazing food source for your filter feeders.  Nannochloropsis also has the ability to consume nitrogen waste compounds ( Ammonia, Nitrite, Nitrate). This helps if you are prone to overfeeding or reducing the frequency of water changes. Nannochloropsis is about 1-5 microns.

Live phytoplankton can be beneficial to a reef tank in several ways. First, phytoplankton are a source of food for many types of marine animals, including coral, fish, and invertebrates. This can help promote the growth and health of these animals.

Second, phytoplankton can also serve as a natural filter for the tank, removing excess nutrients and improving water quality. This can help prevent problems such as algae blooms, which can be harmful to the health of the tank’s inhabitants.

Finally, phytoplankton can also contribute to the overall aesthetic of a reef tank by providing a natural, lush appearance. This can help create a more realistic and enjoyable environment for both the tank’s inhabitants and the person maintaining the tank.
