DARK Phyto is GOOD Phyto!
NOTE: We use Secchi discs to determine our Phytoplankton density as well as examine our cultures under microscope weekly to ensure the Healthiest and densest cultures on the market. Our ship[ments will always be between 10-16 density, which shows by a dark green color. Lighter the color green the less dense so less phytoplankton cells within.
Secchi disk definition/purpose: The Secchi disk (or Secchi disc) measures water transparency or turbidity in bodies of water. The disc is mounted on a pole or line and lowered slowly down in the water. The depth at which the disk is no longer visible is taken as a measure of the transparency of the water. This measure is known as the Secchi depth and is related to water turbidity
