Looking for the best way to kickstart your reef tank? The Starter Reef Bundle is the perfect choice for seeding new aquariums or boosting biodiversity in established systems. This pack combines 250ml of live copepods and 250ml of live phytoplankton, giving your marine tank a complete foundation of natural nutrition and microfauna.
 
Why choose this bundle?
 
Our copepods (Tigriopus sp.) are an excellent live food source for mandarins, wrasse, anthias, seahorses, and other pod-eating fish. They also help establish a thriving microfauna population within your reef system. Paired with freshly cultured phytoplankton (Nannochloropsis), this bundle ensures your pods have a sustainable food source, while also directly feeding filter feeders, clams, and corals.
 
Regular phytoplankton dosing improves water quality by reducing excess nutrients and competing with nuisance algae, making it a vital part of a healthy reef-keeping routine.
 
What’s included:
• 250ml Live Copepods – Nutritious zooplankton for fish, inverts, and coral systems
• 250ml Live Phytoplankton – Fresh culture to feed pods and corals while balancing your reef
