Quick question to everyone who cultures/does phyto. How important is phyto really? I crashed my Phyto culture a couple weeks ago because I had a culture with mixed phyto and bought a single strain culture and decided to swap over to the single strain. In the end it did not make it. With pods I really just use RG complete which is very potent and they love it. I just harvested the two gallon cultures of tisbe pods and they were crazy full crawling on the glass all around etc. I reset those two cultures and kind of have that down pat.

I honestly was really not a fan of doing a full reset cleaning the container etc. Do people culture phyto and just remove some & then add new saltwater to the mix? Also if I did start again anyone have an idea of what strain to go for and where a good source would be.

Time for a coffee break . This is good stuff .

Do you have a general idea of how many gallons it is? Do you know the size of the brute trash can and estimate how full it is. Also what salt are you using. I can get you an estimate and of how much to add and then tell you how to do it slowly so it hits the right number.

I got it up too 1.025 now. Thank you though.

Needs to be lower. It's in the 40s.

I'd say it looks like 20-30. Thats why I like the hanna checkers. I can never decide what color looks closest
