I’m getting rdy to start growing my own Phyto and my question is. I want to use LED,s to grow phyto but I’m not sure what to get... I’ve read a few different things but I’m not really finding the answer I’m looking for... I just don’t want to to waste money I want to buy somthing that’ll work...

I recently found this video and was wondering if anyone has heard of this or thinks it's possible. How to culturing copepods! The easy way! (She shows her set up and says she's using old tank water and lights, no lid, no air, no circulation, and getting copepods AND phytoplankton to...

Hey guys, we started a phyto culture and the first batch took 14 days before we could split it. This time it only took 4 days and it looks like we can split it again. Should we let it go longer or do you think we should split it? What it looked like when starting What it looks like right now

Quick, newbie question. I have all the equipment needed for 5 seperate cultures of copepods/rotifers and for 3 cultures of phytoplankton. My question is what types of copepods do you guys recommend? I was reading about Tisbee, Tig, Psedodiaptomus, and Zoopods. Is there any significant...

Hi all, My tank at one point had a huge pod population, but it seems to have dwindled. I thought I might "boost" the tank with one of the pod/phyto combos at algaebarn... They recommend 3 combos for my size of tank of 150g. But that's rather expensive, so I thought maybe I'd just start with...

I hear a lot about phytoplankton reactors and dosing it when you introduce copepods, or feed clams, etc. still, once I pour a bag of the green liquid into my aquarium, will it continue to grow naturally? Or do you have to keep resupplying the tank. If so, why? For example, once copepods are...

Hi, I’m looking to buy phytoplankton as I’m nearly out, I can only pay with Venmo. Thanks!

Can a product like Reef Nutrition's Phyto-Feast be used to start my own phytoplankton culture or do I really need one of those "starter cultures"?

I've exhausted myself over the course of several months researching this and still can not seem to find the answers I'm looking for. I did order "Ocean Majic" Phyto from Algae Barn (4 strain mix) and have been doing their recommended dosing once a day by adding to my refugium for just over 1...

Hi guys this is a little project I’ve been working on for a few months and now looking for your views on this subject. It all started with me getting a few non photosynthetic corals (gorgonians) and got me thinking in a way we’re I could give them a constant supply of food. The project started...

I have: 4 Quarts of Chaeto for sale. I'm asking $15/each shipped. 5 - 16oz bottles of Nannochloropsis Phyto. They were cultured using f/2 WITHOUT silicates. For this reason, and due to the nature of Nanno, it's not quite as dark as other phytoplanktons. This phyto is alive, and it's dense. I'm...

hello all, I’ve been slowly adding more copepods to my tank for my mandarin, some are still left in these bags, can I use a turkey baster and drop a drop of phytoplankton in there, or should I not?

So I’ve recently been culturing nanochloropsis for a month now and they’ve started since the beginning and was just wondering if this is a type of contamination and if it’s possible to save my culture? It looks like a bunch of dots but my tubing isn’t centered because I don’t have hard tubing so...

I wanted to share my experience dealing with severe water clarity issues and water borne algae. I started cycling my tank in March 2018. I ran it without a skimmer and once cycled I added a clown, Blenny and Watanabe Angel of the course of about two months. Unfortunately there was a long delay...

I'm convinced it is possible and have started a series of experiments to find out that magical combination! So why would you want to do this? Well, Phytoplankton is the base food of the ocean.. it feeds your copepods.. which intern feeds your fish and coral.. Self-sustaining live food? yes...
