Rich in omega-3 fatty acids and pigments, it supports the health and vibrant coloration of a wide range of filter-feeding marine organisms. This non-refrigerated formula includes a proprietary amino acid blend to enhance invertebrate coloration, making it a must-have for professional reef enthusiasts seeking peak aquarium vitality. ## Description Brightwell Aquatics PhytoChrom is a concentrated suspension of six different species of marine algae ranging in size from 1-30 microns and having an extremely diverse nutritional profile, rich in a number of fatty acids including the omega-3 fatty acids EPA, ARA, and DHA, as well as in chlorophyll, carotenoid pigments, vitamins, minerals, and several important amino acids. Of particular interest are omega-3 fatty acids and pigments, for these substances have been shown to provide tremendous benefit to the overall health and coloration of filter feeding and planktivorous organisms. The algae in PhytoChrom fall within three size classes of plankton: picoplankton (0. 2-2. 0 microns), nanoplankton (2. 0-20. 0 microns), and microplankton (20. 0-200. 0 microns). They are the proper size for feeding many species of soft corals (particularly those with short tentacles), as well as clams and other bivalves, sponges, tunicates (sea squirts), plumed worms (Christmas tree worms, feather dusters, etc. ), bryozoans, larval invertebrates such as those of many crustaceans and bivalves, and juvenile fishes. PhytoChrom may be used in conjunction with other planktonic suspensions to provide a complete range of sizes to filter-feeding and planktivorous organisms. PhytoChrom does not require refrigeration, however storage in a cool, shaded area will prolong the activity of the vitamins. Refrigeration will maximize the shelf-life of the product. ## Features - Provides 6 types of phytoplankton ranging in size from1-30 microns. - Ideally-sized for many soft corals, clams, sponges, tunicates, tube worms, bryozoans, larval crustaceans, and juvenile fishes. - Formulated to provide over 200-million phytoplankton cells per ml. - Does not require refrigeration. - Supplemented with a proprietary amino acid to aid in coloration of invertebrates. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001TI0VKG | | ASIN | B001TI0VKG | | Allergen Information | Sulphites Free | | Best Sellers Rank | #35,060 in Pet Supplies ( See Top 100 in Pet Supplies ) #299 in Aquarium Water Treatments | | Brand Name | Brightwell Aquatics | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (132) | | Date First Available | February 19, 2009 | | Department | All Ages | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00810086011353 | | Included Components | PhytoChrom | | Item Form | Liquid | | Item Type Name | Phytoplankton Fish Food | | Item Weight | 1.2 pounds | | Item model number | PCM500 | | Liquid Volume | 500 ml | | Manufacturer | Brightwell Aquatics | | Manufacturer | Brightwell Aquatics | | Manufacturer Part Number | PCM500 | | Model Number | PCM500 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Pet Type | Fish | | Product Dimensions | 3 x 1 x 3 inches; 1.23 pounds | | Target Species | Fish | | UPC | 810086011353 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Brightwell Aquatics - **Item Form:** Liquid - **Item Weight:** 1.2 pounds - **Liquid Volume:** 500 ml - **Number of Packs:** 1 ## Images ![Brightwell Aquatics PhytoChrom Phytoplankton Reef Supplement, 500ml - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/719EPbumSyL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Frequently Bought Together - Brightwell Aquatics PhytoChrom - Concentrated Phytoplankton Suspension for Improved Health and Coloration of Corals and Invertebrates - Brightwell Aquatics Zooplanktos-M - Zooplankton Food Supplement for Marine and Reef Aquariums 500-ml - Brightwell Aquatics 10-15 Micron PhytoGreen-M Green Phytoplankton Aquarium Supplement, 500 mL, 16.91 Fl Oz (Pack of 1) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/18720765-brightwell-aquatics-phytochrom-phytoplankton-reef-supplement-500ml](https://www.desertcart.us/products/18720765-brightwell-aquatics-phytochrom-phytoplankton-reef-supplement-500ml) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-09-30*
