copy of BEA - Synecho Mix - Live Phytoplankton - 1L

Marine phytoplankton selected for reef stability

BEA Synecho Mix is based on a balanced blend of Synechococcus and other specific microalgae naturally present in the oceans. These organisms play a fundamental role in marine ecosystems as primary producers. In aquariums, they participate in the biological regulation of nutrients and help control the growth of cyanobacteria by occupying available ecological niches.

Synechococcus, an emerald green microalga, is rich in phycocyanins, phycobilins, and bioactive pigments . This nutritional richness makes it an ideal food source for zooplankton, filter-feeding corals, and various invertebrates.

Nutrient export and support of the food web

BEA Synecho Mix actively contributes to phosphorus export , even when nitrate levels are very low. It supports a dynamic balance between biological production and consumption, strengthening the system's resilience.

By feeding zooplankton and benthic organisms, it indirectly stimulates the food chain and improves the availability of assimilable nutrients for corals and other invertebrates.

Dosage can be adjusted according to the desired objective.

For a 200-litre aquarium with medium density , it is recommended to dose 100 to 200 ml every two days .

• Dosage with lights off for nutritional use.
• Dosage with lights on for nutrient export.
• Reduce to 50–100 ml for a new or sparsely populated tank.

It is advisable to briefly switch off the skimmer and return pump for a few minutes to promote dispersion. There is no risk in case of overdose.

Quality, freshness and preservation

BEA Synecho Mix is harvested at high cell density and shipped fresh, without preservatives. It can be stored in the refrigerator between 8 and 12°C for approximately three months. A slight sulfurous odor may be detected: this is normal and related to the natural composition of phytoplankton.

Shake well before each use to resuspend the cells. As long as the color remains stable and uniform, the phytoplankton is alive and active.

Use in dedicated cultivation

BEA Synecho Mix can also be used as a starter culture in combination with BEA Phyto Boost. It is recommended to renew the culture every 2 to 3 months to maintain an optimal balance between the different strains.

Product intended for technical use in ornamental aquariums. Keep out of reach of children.
