We're small. We're highly specialized. We're dedicated to what we do. We're craft.
Hydrospace is proud to have introduced the first multi-strain consortia of purple non-sulfur bacteria (PNSB) to the aquarium and aquaculture communities. Our revolutionary products are the happy outcome of an obsession with these archaic organisms, fueled by years of diligent experimentation and review of scientific research.

FRANCIS CRICK, 1916 – 2004
Molecular Biologist
The Green Revolution (also known as the Third Agricultural Revolution), which relied heavily on synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, ushered in a period of massive agricultural production into the late 1980s.

However, there were some unforeseen consequences to these practices, namely a sharp decline in the quality of both crop and soil. Purple Planet was developed to help rejuvenate our damaged soil resources as well as improve the quality of foods and medicines. Some say that we're already well into a fourth agricultural revolution; we firmly
