Nutramar Live Phytoplankton offers among the most nutrient-dense live food. TC is a blend of Tetraselmis and Chaetoceros phytoplankton, which is high in proteins, fatty acids and other phytonutrients, which excel in boosting the populations of Nutramar Tigrio copepods. The TC blend can also be fed to filter feeders such as zooplankton, sponges and some SPS coral. 
Tetraselmis is a genus of phytoplankton with a bright green coloration, which is high in lipids, making it an ideal source of nutrients for filter feeders. 
Chaetoceros makes up one of the largest families of phytoplankton and is important to micro-crustaceans, such as copepods and amphipods. They control dissolved nutrient levels while simultaneously boosting pod levels! 

Dosage: 
The recommended dose is 15-30ml per 50 gallons, once a day. Turn off protein skimmers for 30-45 minutes while feeding. For target feeding, or to maximize feeding opportunities for corals and invertebrates, turn off circulation pumps while dosing. More densely stocked tanks may benefit from more frequent feedings.
