Big Savings on Mass Quantities of Live Bacterioplankton: Provide superior nutrition, while controlling nutrients and organic wastes, withPNS HomeGro™
Marine biologists have for long understood that a substantial part of a coral’s heterotrophic diet is bacterioplankton. Phototrophic diazotrophs such as purple nonsulfur bacteria (PNSB) are shown to be particularly important as coral food, not just for their rich nutritional content but also for their various probiotic qualities. Supplying adequate amounts of this superior food source to large reef aquaria, however, can be challenging and costly. PNS HomeGro™ contains key items required to economically cultivate PNSB at a large scale using commonplace chemicals and implements. This unique kit presents a more eco-friendly alternative to relatively small, pre-grown bottled products as it significantly reduces shipping/packaging waste. Finished culture treats approximately 8,000 gallons!
The live inoculum in each PNS HomeGro™ kit includes three high-value PNSB species: Rhodopseudomonas palustris, Rhodospirillum rubrum and Rhodobacter sphaeroides.
