Selling live phytoplankton in 16oz bottles. My culture splits every week so i have excessive amounts and want to keep this going because its a good culture i started from. I probably have enough for my tank now for a couple months but if i stop then i have to start a new one all over agian when i run out. I usually get 9 bottles a week from this. It's great for coral and pods and algae growth. I clean my glass now probably like once every 6 days and even then its very little. If not sure about the stuff read up on it. It's good stuff. A bottle usually last me 2 weeks and i have a 45 gallon.
I can ship 1 for $15 or 2 for $20. No more will fit in the priority boxes that i ship with. Pm for paypal info or text. 646-270-4251

I had some questions in pm and text that i answered and in case anyone else wondering. so i dont have a phd in phytoplankton, Ha Ha, but did quite a bit of research about it. You should dose 5ml for every 20 gallons. you cannot harm the tank if you happen to overdose. you can also use doser for it if you can somehow keep it cool. I know someone who uses a wine bottle cooler. It should be shaken daily (not alot) because the plankton will settle at the bottom and smother eachother. Skimmer should be off for a few hours after it is put in. If left out after 8 days it will start to die off (but not totally crash the whole bottle) Shipping will be ok because it is moving around in box and i use priority mail so 2-3 days is fine. I also add aditional fertilizer to the bottles before i ship.
