The Essential Microalgae for Reef Culturing

Chlorella is a spherical, non-motile microalgae ranging from 2-10µm in diameter, known for its rapid growth and minimal care requirements. Thriving with just a light source and CO2, this strain is an excellent choice for aquarists and aquaculture enthusiasts looking to sustain vibrant reef ecosystems. Its dense nutritional profile, including high levels of protein, fats, chlorophyll-a and -b, and vitamins A, B1, and B3, makes it a powerhouse for enriching live feed and supporting reef health.
