I'm looking for a starter culture of phyto. Mine crashed in the spring and i'm ready to start it back up. I usually go to amazon and grab some Mercer of Montana phyto and start producing but something is going on as the lead times are into January. I figure I can print an item or two or even do...

Hi, Would anyone be able to identify this species? It’s motile, green, and oval shaped. I cultured it in standard salinity saltwater. Other than that, I only have a Chinese name 扁藻. Sorry for the poor quality microscopy. Thanks, Adam

I currently feed @Reef Nutrition Oyster Feast, R.O.E, Arcti Pods, and Phyto Feast. Can at least the first 3 in those list be combined into a single feed? I'm looking at setting up an auto feeder with a small fridge and this would make things much easier using a single dosing line. Also, Apex...

Hi everyone, For those of you that are culturing (or have cultured) phyto, have you ever noticed white particles developing? If so, any idea what they are and if they can be fed to the reef or need to be filtered out, or even not used? I’ve got two cultures going; one has these white...

I've seen a few posts of DIY solutions for auto dosing refrigerated food. I'm looking for some updated thoughts. How difficult would it be to auto dose using something like one of the Koolatron 6 can fridges? I currently feed @Reef Nutrition Phyto Feast, Arcti-Pods, and TDO. I also feed Red Sea...

Yesterday, I received a bottle of Kent Marine PhytoPlex which had been sitting in a mailbox for 5 hours. The outside temperature was in the high 90’s (Fahrenheit) and the bottle was quite hot to the touch, so I immediately placed the it in the refrigerator, where it has stayed ever since. Is it...

Anyone in Rochester, NY or surrounding areas looking for phyto? Currently culturing weekly batches of Nano and Tetra and have too much left over. Phyto is bottled in 16oz glass jars. $5 contributions accepted to cover supply costs.

Expert level stuff here, but I want to share my own experience. Everyone has their own husbandry and is entitled their their own-way-of-doing-things. I have for awhile now been dosing 32ozs of tetraselmis phytoplankton algae that I brew on my basement in two big 5gal containers with spouts...

I recently expanded my Phyto culturing system to larger 6.5g jugs, better lighting on timers etc. and my Phyto took off like crazy. I thought I'd bottle some up and sell it at a pretty good deal to fellow Reefers but the USPS shipping delays has me concerned that it won't live through their...

I have some fresh phytoplankton it's a mix of nano and tetra. Each bag is 300ml or 10oz can sell each bag $10 shipped.

I’m getting rdy to start growing my own Phyto and my question is. I want to use LED,s to grow phyto but I’m not sure what to get... I’ve read a few different things but I’m not really finding the answer I’m looking for... I just don’t want to to waste money I want to buy somthing that’ll work...

Hey guys, we started a phyto culture and the first batch took 14 days before we could split it. This time it only took 4 days and it looks like we can split it again. Should we let it go longer or do you think we should split it? What it looked like when starting What it looks like right now

We are sorry, but this is no longer an active promotion!

A while ago (Oct/Nov of last year; 7-8 months ago) I set up a little pod/phyto culture in a 2.5 gal tank. It's just regular reef tank water, a bubbler with a wooden air stone that I weighed down with a piece of dry rock and the whole thing is lit by a 9 watt 6500k pendant LED for 8-16 hrs a day...

Have some extra phytoplankton if anyone is interested. I currently have [7] 16.9oz water bottles full of it. Nice and dark. Grown using F/2 fertilizer (micro algae grow) from Florida Aqua Farms. Culture started with Nanno, Iso, Tetra and Thal (Ocean Magik live phyto). $15 each. If you want to...

I've exhausted myself over the course of several months researching this and still can not seem to find the answers I'm looking for. I did order "Ocean Majic" Phyto from Algae Barn (4 strain mix) and have been doing their recommended dosing once a day by adding to my refugium for just over 1...

I have: 4 Quarts of Chaeto for sale. I'm asking $15/each shipped. 5 - 16oz bottles of Nannochloropsis Phyto. They were cultured using f/2 WITHOUT silicates. For this reason, and due to the nature of Nanno, it's not quite as dark as other phytoplanktons. This phyto is alive, and it's dense. I'm...

I'm convinced it is possible and have started a series of experiments to find out that magical combination! So why would you want to do this? Well, Phytoplankton is the base food of the ocean.. it feeds your copepods.. which intern feeds your fish and coral.. Self-sustaining live food? yes...
