phytoplankton

Hi, I’m looking to buy phytoplankton as I’m nearly out, I can only pay with Venmo. Thanks!

Can a product like Reef Nutrition's Phyto-Feast be used to start my own phytoplankton culture or do I really need one of those "starter cultures"?

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...

Hi guys this is a little project I’ve been working on for a few months and now looking for your views on this subject. It all started with me getting a few non photosynthetic corals (gorgonians) and got me thinking in a way we’re I could give them a constant supply of food. The project started...

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...

hello all, I’ve been slowly adding more copepods to my tank for my mandarin, some are still left in these bags, can I use a turkey baster and drop a drop of phytoplankton in there, or should I not?

So I’ve recently been culturing nanochloropsis for a month now and they’ve started since the beginning and was just wondering if this is a type of contamination and if it’s possible to save my culture? It looks like a bunch of dots but my tubing isn’t centered because I don’t have hard tubing so...

I wanted to share my experience dealing with severe water clarity issues and water borne algae. I started cycling my tank in March 2018. I ran it without a skimmer and once cycled I added a clown, Blenny and Watanabe Angel of the course of about two months. Unfortunately there was a long delay...

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...

@AlgaeBarn Picked up a pack of pods and phyto - I have used th pods straight away and am adding phyto as I go. The use by date is not expired but the phyto doesn’t have the same ‘perfume’ as when I just got it. It’s been kept in the fridge as recommended. Is it still alive? Have nutritional...

It is all too often we hear bad things about companies but rarely good things. So I wanted to take a minute and give a shout out to AlgaeBarn for going the extra mile to help me out. They don't just say they care about the pods in your tank they mean it. Thanks to AlgaeBarn for looking out for...

Long story short I did not know the Algae Barn shipping dates and when I ordered it last week I missed the cutoff time. So it shipped this week and I was out of town working and I had my daughter temp acclimate the pods and add the phytoplankton. Here's where things went bad. She added the two...

I am in the process of making a dwarf seahorse tank out of a Marineland either 3 or 5 gallons. The problem I'm running into is feeding the little guys. I understand that the norm is to feed bbs and bs, however, I also understand that in their natural habitat they eat mostly copepods and mysid...

Hey everyone, Chad Clayton here. I am gearing up to present at the Ocean State Reef Aquarium Society's annual event in April. I am going to discuss live feeds and how they are applied to aquariums (also a little about aquaculture). I have a lot of information from past experiences on brine...

I'd like to get a microscope to check my phytocultures, but not sure which make/model/or even just magnification I should be looking for. If all that's needed is magnification of a certain level then I can go cheap :) thanks Isaac

So...how many people have experience with a phyto bloom in a home aquarium? I culture my own phtyo (nannochloropsis oculata) at home and last weekend (the 7th/8th) I was cleaning my culture vessels (aka 1 gal gatorade jugs) and poured probably close to 2 cups into my 125. And I thought all was...
