It arrives with live copepods and amphipods, enhancing your tank’s micro-ecosystem. Thrives under standard CFL grow bulbs, with even better nutrient absorption under stronger lighting. Sustainably sourced and shipped fresh, it’s ideal for professional aquarists seeking a natural, effective filtration boost. ## Description 1oz. (2 Cups) Nice stringy aquacultured chaeto macro algae for refugium. Contains Live Copepods & Amphipods. Excellent nitrate and phosphate removal with a standard CFL grow bulb. However some independent studies show more powerful lights promote photosynthesis resulting in a much higher nitrate and phosphate removal rate. Review: Came fast and looks great, no heat issues at all - I live in FL, bought from shore aquatic. It came in a day or 2 becausethey are in FL. Had pods, nice color green, I ordered this in 100 degree heat, it was perfect. If you don't live in FL this probably only ships out in Mondays and Tuesdays. It was very healthy, no smell, no worms or bad starfish. Very happy with the order. Remember it is a LIVE product, it's YOUR responsibility to keep an eye on tracking and not let it sit all day in a hot mailbox. Think of it like you just ordered a cat in the mail. If you're not home to get, ask a neighbor to get it out of the mIlbox. If YOU let it sit all day in a black mailbox, that's YOUR fault, not the sellers. Just like a cat would die, this migjt also. Don't order it if you can't get your mail during the day. It comes via USPS. You'll be happy, I got plenty, I'd say around 1 cup, obviously you can squeeze it all into 1 inch but not doing that it fits in a cup. It's not covered with pods but it's the perfect amount to start a whole colony growing in a weeks time. Review: DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT! - When This Cheato arrived April 11th it was covered in dead worms and smelled wretched. It was still green so I rinsed it and added it to my sump. I have been meticulous with this tank so adding this went against my gut instinct. But i did anyway. 7 days later it has devastated My healthy and thriving livestock that I have raised for more than 8 years. And more are dying every day no matter what I do. This was the ONLY change I have made to this tank so I know it is directly related. When I approached the seller they demanded a picture of the Cheato. So i dug it out of the garbage. They refused to take responsibility for the devastation their product has caused. Saying it looked green and alive. Duh! It's been In a healthy tank for 7 days. They said I must have other issues with my tank. Uh, NO! I'm not new to this hobby. Your nasty wretched smelling Cheato was obviously contaminated and the root cause of my tanks devastation. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT! Don't risk the lives of your babies you have been raising for YEARS or the heartbreak of losing so many at once. ## Features - 1oz.
