Isochrysis galbana | G² Gilded Current (T-ISO) is the most widely used phytoplankton strain in marine aquaculture for one reason — nothing else delivers DHA omega-3 fatty acids at the same concentration. DHA is the critical fatty acid responsible for neurological development in juvenile fish, vibrant coral coloration, and reproductive success in copepods. If your reef gets only one phytoplankton strain, this is it.
Isochrysis galbana | G² Gilded Current feeds every level of your reef — from microscopic copepod nauplii to coral polyps, clams, and feather dusters. Its small cell size (4–6 microns) makes it accessible to the widest range of reef inhabitants, and its golden-brown color signals a culture at peak lipid density.
Ideal for: All copepod species, coral feeding, clams, juvenile fish development, feather dusters, seahorses, universal reef dosing
Live Arrival Guarantee (LAG) We take immense pride in our cultivation process. We guarantee that all live cultures (Copepods and Phytoplankton) will arrive alive and healthy.
Claims Process In the rare event of a DOA (Dead on Arrival):
Non-Returnable Items Due to the biological nature of our products and strict biosecurity protocols, we cannot accept returns on live cultures once they have been delivered. This ensures that no outside contaminants ever enter our facility.
Cancellations Orders can be cancelled for a full refund at any time before the shipping label has been created. Once a live order is in the hands of the carrier, it is final.
Biological Shipping Schedule To ensure the highest viability of our live cultures, we ship Monday through Wednesday. Orders placed Thursday–Sunday will be dispatched the following Monday. This prevents your Phyto or Copepods from being held in carrier facilities over the weekend.
Transit Times
Weather Monitoring We monitor temperatures across the country daily. If your region is experiencing extreme heat (over 90°F) or cold (under 35°F), we may hold your shipment for 24-48 hours for the safety of the organisms. We will notify you via email if a weather delay occurs.
Tracking Your Culture Once your order is packed, you will receive a tracking number via email. Please arrange to be present for delivery to ensure your live cultures are brought indoors immediately.
