I dunno, and at this point I'm too afraid to ask
Wasn't sure if it was different kinds or if the phyto was in different stages through the four jars! Either way, it's a lot prettier than my rotifers and baby brine set ups

Build Thread - My Grateful Journeys Tank
New Fish Update: I’m excited to introduce the latest member of my lil reef. Meet Frank Lloyd Wright, AKA. Frankie; an Orange Shoulder Tang. Why the famous name you ask? Well, a year ago when I started to plan setting-up a fish tank again, I happened to see a full-grown one in an LFS and was...

Yeah, and the different strains have different benefits associated with them.Wasn't sure if it was different kinds or if the phyto was in different stages through the four jars! Either way, it's a lot prettier than my rotifers and baby brine set ups

Clam died today, so that's sad. On the brighter side, the Euphyllia are doing better with more feedings and some movement into slightly lower PAR spots! Planning on getting that glass cleaned up real soon! Nothing to be too sad about really. Look at the rest of your tank. It's awesome and...

The light behind those bottles is a workshop light that's 6K spectrum. Don't worry even Taras from TSA was impressed on how the Rhodomonas looked.Looks like a fun time! I am on the east coast so I don't make it past TX for shows usually. I'll be at reefapalooza in Orlando this year though, if ya'll think you'll make it! Either way I'll start keeping a lookout when we're out and about!
Do you have different lights behind those jars or is that just what the phyto looks like? Because if they're that pretty it might be easier than i thought to convince the ol lady to get them haha
Im not sure I'll be at RAP Orlando this year. My last year there was in 21' selling corals and showing off ECC Nexus anemones with some other cool corals. I wasn't planning on being at ReefStock this year, I was forced to do that one by Jacob from Fritz Aquatics.
I've been doing smaller shows, usually CFM on the west coast while I dial in the product and travel. I do need to make it down to Orlando, I have several projects waiting for me down there. Id like to spend 2-3 weeks in Orlando to fish and complete the tasks needed. I don't have that much time to spare currently.
There are different types of phyto, greens are okay, you'll want more yellows, reds and browns. Check out the site. Isochrysis galbana, Rhodomonas salina, Thalassiosira weissfloggii are all extremely popular. The website lists the products on which one sells the best. Isochrysis galbana needs to be expanded again, it wasn't popular till 4-5 weeks ago.

I saw your booth at CFM Phoenix but you were busy talking to other people each time I walked by. I didn't have a chance to stop and talk.
I'll be keeping an eye out for the east coast ones. Any in the Mid-Atlantic?If you are on the West coast area, stop by at a show. Not only will you see our 4 jar kit in action, you can buy the jars, get the phyto for free and get a discount on a few other products. This was at Reefstock this last weekend. More shows are coming to the East Coast area. Thanks for liking and entering our giveaway!!!

The tank, all full of life, happy, healthy. My duckweed factory. That was a wile ago. Then yesterday tragedy struck. This is my oldest continuously running tank now with one, maybe two neocaradina shrimp and a snail. The background is lava rock, substrate is five-year-old seachem (maybe)...

I think all the Taras videos on Phyto lately are helping to promote your brand indirectly. They’re making a lot more reefers aware of the importance and benefits of Phyto and you are already a trusted source here on R2R! Both of you talking about the different strains/colors and how you use them was eye-opening for me.
Plus,you offer different size bottles for all tank sizes, TSA doesn’t.
Taras and I spoke at ReefStock. Taras is an employee at TSA and I did share my thoughts with how Steven and Kevin can make TSA live phytoplankton/feeds more competitive. If you reach out to Taras, I even told him this in person on Sunday. Taras needs more space and more equipment. Running a business you get pulled 30 directions.
TSA did change the shipping on all their live feeds to a flat $19.99 shipping rate, which will help them sell more bottles per week. The old shipping charge was $39.99 for overnight shipping.
I've had people reach out about Reef Nutrition products, I direct them to Saltwateraquarium.com to purchase the products because at $40 you get free shipping were if you order directly from Reef Nutrition you are paying $27.50 or more per order regardless of the amount you spend.
I've had a few chats with Taras about things. I did cater the phytobox this weekend to his talk, I told Taras this is why I brought the strains I did. He was shocked that I would take a jar of Rhodomonas salina to the show to display.
Well Evie, made me sign up for ReefStock Chattanooga in August. RAP cali will depend on my marketing budget. Last year Quality Marine was giving away pods and phytoplankton bags, to attendees after spinning the prize wheel. Currently 10% of sales are set aside for marketing expenses. RAP cali will come down to how much product can I have at the show to giveaway, and what production volume is doing on a weekly volume. I expanded the live feeds section of the shop in December got it all down to only sell out every week after 3 weeks. Hopefully things continue to grow after this next expansion is fully operation and I can count of the volume per week. The last expansion gave 200 gallons of phytoplankton weekly and the last 3 weeks every drop has been sold, each and every week.
Martha if you see this, don't hate me when you see me. I know, I've given plenty of crap since you've joined the WWC team.
