So last week I fed my palys reef roids mixed with phytoplankton and ever since then they have not opened back up it’s coming up on the 8th day of this and I’m starting to get concerned, is there anything I can do? Or is there anything I should do?

I currently use 0.25ml of Julian sprungs marine snow once every two weeks and 1/8 of a 1/4 teaspoon of reef roids every week in my 15 gal, I’ve noticed many experienced reefers use phyto plankton specifically as this feeds zooplankton which in turn feed coral and copepods. Would I benefit from...

Hi,
I’m having a bot of trouble trying to start a copepod colony inside my reef tank/sump. After about 1/2 days of adding my pods they die off and im struggling as to why they are dying off.
my specs and params:
70 gal tank (10gal sump With refugium and cheato)
Ammonia: 0ppm
Nitrite: 0ppm...
Does anyone have any suggestions for the air-intake filter for a Tetra Whisper10?
I've been having bad luck with my phytocultures, and I've done everything I can think of to keep bacterial contamination from occurring.
I think something may be in the pump that is causing the issue.

Send me a message if you are interested.
A couple weeks ago I introduced four jars of AlgaeBarn 5280 Pods to my 125 gallon, and have been dosing 25ml of OceanMagik phytoplankton daily since. I honeslty don't even know if there are any copepods in the tank at this point. I keep looking and looking, and I just can't find a single one. I...
I'd like to build up a self sufficient population of phytoplankton in my 65 to support a suitable pod population for two (or more!) dragonets.
We have chaeto in the refugium right now that is keeping the nitrate and phosphate at practically 0, regardless of how much we feed and how little we...

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?

Quick, newbie question. I have all the equipment needed for 5 seperate cultures of copepods/rotifers and for 3 cultures of phytoplankton. My question is what types of copepods do you guys recommend? I was reading about Tisbee, Tig, Psedodiaptomus, and Zoopods. Is there any significant...
Hi all,
My tank at one point had a huge pod population, but it seems to have dwindled. I thought I might "boost" the tank with one of the pod/phyto combos at algaebarn... They recommend 3 combos for my size of tank of 150g.
But that's rather expensive, so I thought maybe I'd just start with...
I hear a lot about phytoplankton reactors and dosing it when you introduce copepods, or feed clams, etc. still, once I pour a bag of the green liquid into my aquarium, will it continue to grow naturally? Or do you have to keep resupplying the tank. If so, why?
For example, once copepods are...

I am not sure this is the right place for this but i read a few articles and thought i did it right but things are not looking right and need some help...
i have a cheap 12-gallon tank so I:
1. filled it 50% with water from the display
2. added ocean magik from algaebarn for Phytoplankton
3...
I started a culture of phyto 2 days ago. Algeabarn phyto
Salinity: 1.019
Using Voss bottle rigid tube + airline, 6k5 floroucense light, f/2
Any idea? Should I increase the bubbles so phyoto dont settle down on the bottom?
