That is essentially my plan. From what I understand one strain of phyto will win out but I’m sure that’s good enough.1)Purchase some live phyto somewhere. Doesn't matter, small amount is enough.
2) purchase air pump... larger one with 4 to 6 nozzles would be better
3) purchase F2 fertilizer... most places you buy phyto from should also be able to sell you some fertilizer
4) make some salt water mix. Instant ocean recommended since it's cheaper in the long run, don't need expensive high end salt. Any at hand would do.
5) get some containers. I use 2L soda bottles, clear. Remove the labels. Glass etc works too.
6) I fill 3 soda containers with salt water at a time. Add some phyto to each one, enough that they have a green tint. Add 1ml F2 fertilizer. Add air line... no stone needed.
7) Add light from a cheap light fixture. One on a timer outlet works, set up to 16 hours on time. Cheap led bulb works best for no heat and low power consumption imo.
8) harvest phyto when water is dark green. Maybe 1x per week per container. Take some one of the 2l bottle, refill with clean salt water and add more f2 fertilizer for next batch. If you stagger the harvest of each container you can harvest daily etc depending on needs. Can keep in fridge if a container that closes too.
Note* when the 2l bottles get too dirty I just throw it away and replace with a new one for light to shine through

Alkalinity raises and lowers with the nitrate levels in your tank. As nitrate is produced in the tank alkalinity lowers and as nitrate is converted to nitrogen gas alkalinity increases.Main Giveaway Contest

Thanks. I had help from the dude at the store. And it came after the garden store where we had another large haul.Man! Nice! Congrats amigo. I guess it doesn't matter how close to Loyola you are now.
And Marshall doesn't even have kids to teach technology to!Me when my wife gets home this afternoon.
I didn't buy one when you were gone! I waited and waited for you to get home. Greg and Marshall both have one and Sam has 2!
