Question 1

Can you keep your UV sterilizing active when added?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you may keep your UV sterilizer on with Oceanmagik.

Question 2

What is the micron size range ?

Accepted Answer

OceanMagik consists of a proprietary blend of four Live Phytoplankton species:

“NANO”
Nannochloropsis gaditana :: Non-flagellated Yellow/Green :: 1 – 5 microns
This tiny green algae consumes several nitrogen waste compounds including ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates. As a result, Nano helps if you have an overfeeding problem, if you are adding a new critter to your tank, or if you want to reduce the frequency of water changes.

“TET”
Tetraselmis sp :: Green Biflagellate :: 6 – 10 microns
With a rich and varied amino/ fatty acid profile, Tetraselmis provides a very nutritional feed for your marine life. Large aquaculture facilities commonly use Tet, due to its highly nutritional makeup.

“ISO”
Isochrysis galbana :: Brown Biflagellate :: 10 – 14 microns
This complex brown algae is high in DHA and is also often used to enrich zooplankton such as copepods and brine. Dosing your tank with Isochrysis will also boost zooplankton and copepod levels. It will also help with the development, coloration, and resilience of your marine life. Oysters, clams, mussels, and scallops all love Isochrysis!

“THAL”
Thalassiosira weissflogii :: Unflagellated Diatom :: 5 – 32 microns
Thal is the largest strain of phytoplankton we offer. As a beneficial diatom, this algae consumes silicates, restricting the growth of harmful dinoflagellates and silicates. Cycle time is reduced by adding Thal to your tank!

Question 3

if added to a new aquarum  will this help cycle and reproduce for food later.?

Accepted Answer

If you have a refugium set up with some cheato.. or plant matter for copepods.. it will help. If you don’t have any of that yet.. I wouldn’t think it would help a lot to cycle. It’s food for copepods.

Question 4

Is this the same as rotifers? Will newly hatched clownfish eat this?

Accepted Answer

No this is different. Algae Barn does sell rotifers though
