For the past 3 months, I have been cultivating my own phytoplankton. I am seeing great results from my tanks. My mushrooms and zoanthids are plumper, along with seeing more vibrant colors on my SPS and LPS Corals. And now I plan to sale in bulk and in limited quantities. At the moment, I am...

Hi all, I was happy to have started my first low cost phytoplankton culture based on tutorials seen on YouTube. It was a half gallon jar with a starter culture, fertilizer, and saltwater. I set the jar in my balcony with air flowing in from an airpump. Culture was getting darker every day which...

I lost a culture this week, and I thought it might be helpful to post a picture and a bit of a warning/caution. To the untrained eye, this culture might look green and healthy, but in reality it has almost no phyto. Examined under the microscope, it is actually something that looks like...

Anyone know of any company’s like algae barn in Canada that has copepod blends and live phytoplankton?

I have had recently dosed what I would call a heavy load of phyto. I dosed 50ml to a 36 gallon tank so probably 2ml/ per gallon of water volume. Also I have an oversized skimmer and only 4 fish with light bio load. I notice that usually the phyto will coat the glass and I scrape off no problem...

I was just wondering if anyone has cultured their phyto under 24/7 light. I’ve seen the average light cycles people use is 12-12 or 16 on - 8 off. It’s not essential to turn off lights for some terrestrial plants although it can be beneficial for the substrate biomes I’ve read. But that’s...

I was wondering what people would think of this, so I plan on buying a Milk Fridge, they're small fridges usually with holes in the sides so you can plumb tubing from usually Milk. I've seen people use them to hold their liquid foods and automatically dose the aquarium. The first thing I would...
