PhytoTank CL System – Copepod and Phytoplankton Culture Reactors

Grow copepods and phytoplankton hassle-free using the PhytoTank CL System! This kit includes everything you need to maintain a self-sustaining copepod colony to feed your reef tank inhabitants. It includes two PhytoTank-L reactors: one for growing copepods and another for growing phytoplankton to feed your copepods. You can also use any excess phytoplankton to feed your corals!**

The kit features the PodNest– a combined aerator and copepod habitat which results in significant copepod culture density. Also included is a large, 4 inch copepod sieve to help catch copepods.

The integrated LED light provides uniform lighting for maximum growth and eliminates the need for space-consuming banks of fluorescent lights. Cultures take place in disposable culture bags, and the PhytoTank`s durable rubber cap has bulkheads for disposable aeration and vent tubes, so you wont need to extensively clean or disinfect your PhytoTank between cultures. Simply throw out the disposable items and start your next culture!
