phyto

So I've been doing a lot of looking around on how long a bottle of live phyto will actually live for, given the proper care. Proper care being - kept at appropriately refrigerated temperatures, and given the wake-up shake every day or so. I've seen some sites say that they survive for only 7...

I bought some live phyto from my lfs it's pretty smelly probably dieing now, wondering if it would still be ok to feed to copepod culture and tank or should it be thrown out?

A lot of people ask what we feed our systems on a regular basis and aside from the typical mysis or pellet foods we feed a variety of Phytos and Rotifers. Since we haev such great reslults with them we figured why not start culturing them and offering them to our customers. We are happy to now...

Started my phytoplankton culture and was wondering which placement of the light would be better. Right against the phyto or on top?

as i start my journey into culturing live foods: phyto,pods,mysis, etc. i’d love to see some of your tanks & get ideas as to how i could go about this. also what’s your favorite “live food” to culture? Thanks!

Hey all. So I have 3 coco worms in my 16 gallon reef tank that seem to be doing ok, with 2 of them even adding about 1-2" to their tubes since I got them back in November, but they haven't been coming out quite as much as they usually do over the past week or so. Should I be supplementing their...

I've been growing copepods (tisbe and tigriopus) using live phytoplankton as feed (tetraselmis, nannochloropsis, and isochrysis). I've noticed that the phyto I use has a big impact on copepod yield. I'm hoping someone, maybe @Reef Nutrition, @AlgaeBarn, or really just anyone with more...

This is my modified AIO Kent bioreef 94 litre. Running ten months now and things are going great. I add tmc all for reef, ab+ and live 8 species Phyto daily. I also dose iodine, manganese and occasionally magnesium. The fish are fed with a mixture of frozen brine and mysis shrimp and lobster...

I'm cycling with dry rock, and when that's over, I'll seed my tank with copepods in a bottle. Should I invest in live phytoplankton to feed the copepods and make them reproduce faster, or is dead phytoplankton like EasyReefs EasyBooster gonna do just fine? If I buy cheaper, dead, phytoplankton...

I'm looking for a starter culture of phyto. Mine crashed in the spring and i'm ready to start it back up. I usually go to amazon and grab some Mercer of Montana phyto and start producing but something is going on as the lead times are into January. I figure I can print an item or two or even do...

Hi, Would anyone be able to identify this species? It’s motile, green, and oval shaped. I cultured it in standard salinity saltwater. Other than that, I only have a Chinese name 扁藻. Sorry for the poor quality microscopy. Thanks, Adam

I currently feed @Reef Nutrition Oyster Feast, R.O.E, Arcti Pods, and Phyto Feast. Can at least the first 3 in those list be combined into a single feed? I'm looking at setting up an auto feeder with a small fridge and this would make things much easier using a single dosing line. Also, Apex...

Hi everyone, For those of you that are culturing (or have cultured) phyto, have you ever noticed white particles developing? If so, any idea what they are and if they can be fed to the reef or need to be filtered out, or even not used? I’ve got two cultures going; one has these white...

I've seen a few posts of DIY solutions for auto dosing refrigerated food. I'm looking for some updated thoughts. How difficult would it be to auto dose using something like one of the Koolatron 6 can fridges? I currently feed @Reef Nutrition Phyto Feast, Arcti-Pods, and TDO. I also feed Red Sea...

Yesterday, I received a bottle of Kent Marine PhytoPlex which had been sitting in a mailbox for 5 hours. The outside temperature was in the high 90’s (Fahrenheit) and the bottle was quite hot to the touch, so I immediately placed the it in the refrigerator, where it has stayed ever since. Is it...

Anyone in our around Durham have any Phyto and rotifers for sell?
