	The reason for this dual purpose tank is that both of these organisms have a synergistic effect on each other; the spirulina achieves optimal growth at a pH of 8.04 and will dominate over other cyanobacteria that produce toxins, and crayfish can survive in these highly basic conditions, and can feed off of the spirulina. This forms the basis of an exceptionally robust nutrient web that enriches the nutritional value of everything produced later in this aquaculture nutrient cycle, from most vitamins and minerals to complete proteins, all of which are essential for human life.
