phytoplankton

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...

We are working on some awesome projects here in our farm one of which is culturing our own Phyto! Here is a video of Taras one of our Aquaculture specialists dropping a little knowledge on everyone!

Hi there, have had slightly cloudy water and took a sample to find this guy. Not sure what type of algae this is. It has at least 2 Flagella, and is present when the lights are on. No sign of slime. Moves quickly as well. If anyone has any idea what genus this belongs to, that’d be great! Oil...

With all of the benefits associated with dosing phytoplankton to a reef tank, I was wondering if it was at all possible to culture and maintain a stable phytoplankton population in the tank. I assume things like protein skimmers and various reactors would need to be disconnected and some amount...

I got live phytoplankton from my LFS yesterday. I’m wanting to culture it. It’s a 6 oz bottle of phytoplankton. Imma be using a 12 oz Gatorade bottle to culture it. I got my saltwater mixed to 35 PPT. My question is how much saltwater I should be in their bottle? I’m only wanting to use half the...

Hey guys, Is anybody using raw spirulina powder to feed your copepods (or other types of zooplankton), corals or other creatures like fish? I use an addition of spirulina in fish food and I would like to use it more, as it's healthy and cheap, but I wonder how successful would I be with a...

Anyone point me in the right direction on where to buy bulk phytoplankton, looking for 7 gallons. Preferably a hobbyist or smaller business first. Thank you in advance.

Hi, I started culturing phytoplankton. Now on day 8 and I woke up today and my culture has gone a yellow colour but doesn’t smell. Is my culture dead or can I recover it? 3 images - Day 1 light green, Day 6 darker green, Day 8 yellow.

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...

I don’t know if I want to go through the trouble of cultivating or buying phytoplankton, but I want to cultivate copepods. I wondered if there’s any dried food they will eat or an easier/cheap alternative?

I recently delved into the world of phytoplankton culturing. My first attempt with Nannochloropsis in 500ml plastic bottles started off well but stalled after 3 weeks: it hasn't crashed yet but it's not getting any greener. I did add F/2 fertilizer and it's bubbling to produce a nice rolling...
