PhytoPlankton are single celled plants that are important to the health of a reef tank.PhytoPlankton take excess nutrients such as nitrates, phosphates, heavy metals, iron, sunlight, carbon dioxide and create fatty acids that are critical to the health of many marine organisms.The way it works is that PhytoPlankton produce Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) and are either consumed directly by a filter feeder or by copepods that are in turn eaten by fish or corals. In this way these super important fatty acids enter the food chain.At best guess there are over 100,000 different types of PhytoPlankton in the oceans-they are not all the same; Phyto is not Phyto.
