Brightwell UltraPlanktos P CWM

Brightwell UltraPlanktos P CWM

Overview

Fuel your temperate reef with Brightwell Aquatics UltraPlanktos P CWM, a fortified phytoplankton suspension formulated specifically for cold-water marine systems. UltraPlanktos P delivers a balanced spectrum of microalgae particles that support suspension feeders—enhancing coloration, tissue health, and steady growth—while minimizing water clouding when used as directed.

Key Features

• Cold-Water Optimized: Engineered for temperate systems below tropical reef temps; ideal for public displays and home cold-water reefs.

• Broad-Spectrum Microalgae: Fine particle sizes appropriate for bivalves, feather dusters, sponges, tunicates, soft corals, and NPS species.

• Fortified Nutrition: Enriched with vitamins and essential nutrients to support immunity, tissue repair, and polyp extension.

• Clean Dispersion: Mixes evenly, stays suspended longer for efficient uptake; reef-safe when dosed properly.

• Flexible Feeding: Works for broadcast or target feeding and with dosing pumps when pre-diluted.

Product Specifications

• Product Name: Brightwell Aquatics UltraPlanktos P CWM

• Type: Fortified phytoplankton suspension (cold-water)

• Use For: Filter-feeding invertebrates and cold-water corals/inverts

• System Types: Temperate marine reefs, NPS systems, research and display aquaria

• Storage: Keep sealed, cool, and out of light. Refrigerate after opening. Shake very well before each use.

Directions (General Guidance)

Observe livestock response and track nutrients (NO₃/PO₄); adjust to your tank’s bioload and export capacity.

1. Preparation: Shake thoroughly. For target feeding, pre-dilute with clean tank water (e.g., 1:3).

2. Starting Dose:

   • Broadcast: 1–5 mL per 50 gal (190 L), 2–4× per week.

   • Target: Small amounts gently over colonies; avoid direct jets on tissues.

3. Skimmer/Mechanical: Consider pausing skimmer and fine socks 10–30 minutes to maximize uptake.

4. Nutrient Control: Increase or reduce frequency based on polyp extension and nutrient trends. Avoid overfeeding.

Tip: Multiple small feedings typically outperform single large feedings for NPS and heavy filter-feeder tanks.

Best Practices

• Temperature Stability: Maintain species-appropriate cold-water ranges; stable temps improve feeding response.

• Flow & Suspension: Moderate, randomized flow keeps particles in suspension and accessible.

• Compatibility: Safe with fish, inverts, and mixed temperate communities when used as directed.

• Synergy: Combine with appropriate zooplankton feedings (e.g., UltraPlanktos Z CWM) and robust export (skimming, refugia).
