had to reset my Phyto
Its always a gamble using the water mixed up the prior week .
Went to all four air feeds...
All cleaned with denatured alcohol... cabinet aired-out... funnel wiped down... almost out of f/2

Diluted almost a whole gallon of my stash between the four jugs, then added a liter of 1.014 salinity water with 1.5ml f/2 in it. Let it sit in the dark overnight to wakeup from being in the fridge. Should hit the ground running.

I need to get mine set up. I probably won't be doing gallons. We're looking at smaller batches.
hah; I'm only doing gallons because I have the bulbs and fixture; the 4' tubes lend themselves well to gallons. ;)

I'm tempted to turn part of my basement pantry into a phyto reserve.
My issue with it in the fridge is you need to shake it.
That is why I store it in the fridge door! Way easier to shake.

Put a fake urchin in a container. Makes it easier.
