phytoplankton

I got live phytoplankton from my LFS yesterday. I’m wanting to culture it. It’s a 6 oz bottle of phytoplankton. Imma be using a 12 oz Gatorade bottle to culture it. I got my saltwater mixed to 35 PPT. My question is how much saltwater I should be in their bottle? I’m only wanting to use half the...

Hey guys, Is anybody using raw spirulina powder to feed your copepods (or other types of zooplankton), corals or other creatures like fish? I use an addition of spirulina in fish food and I would like to use it more, as it's healthy and cheap, but I wonder how successful would I be with a...

Anyone point me in the right direction on where to buy bulk phytoplankton, looking for 7 gallons. Preferably a hobbyist or smaller business first. Thank you in advance.

Hey guys I have some phytoplankton for sale. As of now I don't ship, so just for local pickup. I should have a readily available supply within a couple of months, but as of now I have 2 liters available. Price is $10per liter This can also get your own culture going.

Hi, I started culturing phytoplankton. Now on day 8 and I woke up today and my culture has gone a yellow colour but doesn’t smell. Is my culture dead or can I recover it? 3 images - Day 1 light green, Day 6 darker green, Day 8 yellow.

I've been growing copepods (tisbe and tigriopus) using live phytoplankton as feed (tetraselmis, nannochloropsis, and isochrysis). I've noticed that the phyto I use has a big impact on copepod yield. I'm hoping someone, maybe @Reef Nutrition, @AlgaeBarn, or really just anyone with more...

I don’t know if I want to go through the trouble of cultivating or buying phytoplankton, but I want to cultivate copepods. I wondered if there’s any dried food they will eat or an easier/cheap alternative?

I recently delved into the world of phytoplankton culturing. My first attempt with Nannochloropsis in 500ml plastic bottles started off well but stalled after 3 weeks: it hasn't crashed yet but it's not getting any greener. I did add F/2 fertilizer and it's bubbling to produce a nice rolling...

Hello everyone, I'm getting my new tank in 2 weeks and will do a fish-less cycle. Once my tank is fully cycled, do I add phyto plankton and copepods then, or do I wait until the ugly stage to add them?

This is a question for those of you who culture phytoplankton. I've just set up my first Nannochloropsis culture similarly to the bucket set-up in this thread: www.reef2reef.com/threads/culturing-phytoplankton.59497/ But I was wondering if I could use flexible LED strips around the sides of the...

hi all, wondering if this is the right way to go about it. Right now I am on day 2 of my setup and the only thing that concerns me is the color of the water/phyto. Used this stuff to start the phyto culture Used only enough to give the water a tint of green even though this stuff does not...

I'm cycling with dry rock, and when that's over, I'll seed my tank with copepods in a bottle. Should I invest in live phytoplankton to feed the copepods and make them reproduce faster, or is dead phytoplankton like EasyReefs EasyBooster gonna do just fine? If I buy cheaper, dead, phytoplankton...

So I setup a DIY copepod culture to try to keep a supply of pods around to dose my new tank. I have a 2 Liter Erlenmeyer flask w/stopper hooked up to a air pump. I added a jar of Tig pods f/algae barn and have added some ocean magik to tint the water. My water is not quite as dark as some of...

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
