I have a spare dose and am thinking to dose Phyto I grow myself. How long does the phyto live in room temperature? im dosing 30ml per day. how many should I put in the dosing container? and how often should I refill? Thanks!!

I am currently attempting to culture live phytoplankton for the first time using Algae Barn Ocean Magik live phyto as a a starter culture and Gillards F2 as a fertilizer. In hindsight I should have started with a single strain, but this is my experiment nonetheless. The culture has been going...

The incredible advancements made by our scientists here at QM Aquaculture Labs are the result of many breakthroughs in house as well as decades of research done by aquaculture facilities around the world. In the course of one of our biggest breakthroughs, the captive culture of Zebrasoma...

Coral Hub’s live phytoplankton consists of a single species of Nannochloropsis. It is bottled each week and shipped with cold packs to ensure viability. The phytoplankton will last up to 3-4 weeks in the fridge with daily shaking or about 1-2 weeks at room temperature but varies depending on...

Hey guys! I am starting a phytoplankton and copepod farm. Here is my progress so far. I have the tubes and the culture coming next week. Let me know your tips and tricks if you done this before. I am new to this and I would love the community inputs. Thanks

So I've been doing a lot of looking around on how long a bottle of live phyto will actually live for, given the proper care. Proper care being - kept at appropriately refrigerated temperatures, and given the wake-up shake every day or so. I've seen some sites say that they survive for only 7...

ISOCHRYSIS GALBANA PHYTOPLANKTON Hello, The goal of this thread is to consolidate information, questions and answers for people looking to culture Isochrysis galbana phytoplankton I appreciate those that have cultured isochrysis galbana sharing their secrets and knowledge with us In this post I...

I have a subscription to algae barn for pods and phyto that arrive once a month. I started dosing a few months back when I needed to beat by dinos. My tank isn't that big so I don't dose the phyto that much like maybe 5 ml a day before leaving for work. I wanted to know does Phyto have an...

Hi Reefers, Start Growing Phyto myself and selling them at cheaper price for the first time! ☺️☺️☺️ Test run price: $15 per 12 oz Can deliver to South Bay or pick up in Sunnyvale Shipping is available (Fees TBD)

I started culturing phyto (nannochloropsis) and this was in my end result. I wiped everything down with alcohol then rinsed with fresh rodi water because of the smell. Let it air dry for a day then mixed fresh salt water to 1.014 salinity. Added f.2 fertilizer then poured some live phytoplankton...

Hey all! Finally after years of saving and planning I was able to put my first reef tank together just the way I wanted. Water went in last week, and I just finished up my first 10% water change this morning. So far in the first week I've had trouble with an undersized heater due to how cold my...

I'm currently cycling my first tank, and somehow gaslit myself into think the nitrogen cycle was measured in days not weeks. I have an order of ecopods and oceanmagik coming from AlgaeBarn to develop the plankton population in the tank post cycle but it will arrive way before the nitrogen cycle...

I've recently begun culturing phyto (unknown species) but my air pump isn't quite strong enough to prevent some settling at the bottom of the container. Is it safe to use a small powerhead/pump in a phyto culture or could it potentially harm the cells? Thanks in advance!

Hey all. So I have 3 coco worms in my 16 gallon reef tank that seem to be doing ok, with 2 of them even adding about 1-2" to their tubes since I got them back in November, but they haven't been coming out quite as much as they usually do over the past week or so. Should I be supplementing their...

We are working on some awesome projects here in our farm one of which is culturing our own Phyto! Here is a video of Taras one of our Aquaculture specialists dropping a little knowledge on everyone!

Hi there, have had slightly cloudy water and took a sample to find this guy. Not sure what type of algae this is. It has at least 2 Flagella, and is present when the lights are on. No sign of slime. Moves quickly as well. If anyone has any idea what genus this belongs to, that’d be great! Oil...

Hey everyone! Has anyone experimented with using a Ziss Brine Shrimp Hatchery to culture Copepods or phytoplankton? I feel like it would be super convenient the way it’s made!

Dinkins Aquatic Gardens is a small business run by my wife and myself (mostly my wife!) that focuses on live foods for your reef. We currently offer phytoplankton, three species of copepods, rotifers, and baby brine shrimp. We expect to release amphipods soon, once we finish our shipping tests...

With all of the benefits associated with dosing phytoplankton to a reef tank, I was wondering if it was at all possible to culture and maintain a stable phytoplankton population in the tank. I assume things like protein skimmers and various reactors would need to be disconnected and some amount...
