Anyone looking for home grown live phyto? We are growing four species (nanno, tet, iso, and Porphyridium) so we can dose our tank every day but we end up having a lot more each week than we actually need. In Firestone.

If you’re interested hit me up!
I would love to connect on this! I live in Denver and, would love to know more on the process that you use to cultivate this as well as how much you are selling it for. :D

My wife grows the phyto using the Poseiden Reef Systems reactors. She grows 2 species a week (nanno and tet one week, iso and porph the next) and we combine them into a 4-species mix. All in all we're making about 1.5-1.75 gallons a week but we only use about 1/2 gallon each week in our tank.

I'll tell you what, though, it's a huge money saver in the long run. A gallon of phyto from AlageBarn would cost around $100!

If you really are interested in buying some, DM me and we can figure something out.

Anyone know why it's so hard to find an external overflow on a stock tank? I'm looking for a 30x24x20 tank with an external overflow and it doesn't exist without going custom. I swear there was more tank variety 20 years ago.

@CloudReefer Where external overflows a thing 20 years ago lol? Thought they where relatively new, highly recommend them though. I know SCA has some drilled for synergys overflow that you can order online, really like them. If you are interested in a quote for a completely custom planet aquariums tank let me know I can sort that out.

Anecdotally, they seemed pretty common and most reefers I knew had one on their tank. I don't know if they were actually more common then, but I can tell you even 20 years ago they were not a new thing.

Yeah man I'd be interested in seeing what PA can build for me. I'll send a PM with what I am looking for. Thanks! :)

Wish they where more common now, next tank I get will definitely have one the amount of extra space is so nice.
