Cultured Phyto

[vittpsu21]

Hey all,

I have been culturing phyto for a little bit now and currently have way more than I can possible handle. I dose it to my own display but only go through about a gal a month which is not nearly enough to consume what I make, even with 2 pod cultures running at same time. I would much rather see it go somewhere to people who can use it rather than start dumping it down the drain.

Strains are:

Diatom - Chaetoceros Muellerii
Non-Diatom - Nannochloropsis

I usually just mix them together into 1 batch when harvesting so it would be a mix of the two. Not really looking to make money as much as maybe cover some of the cost of the jars/fert/silicate, if willing to pick up or meet near the Pittsburgh (south hills area) $20 per half gal seems reasonable to me!

Rather not dump it down the drain!

I just bought from Algae barn but would be interested in the future.

Haha you aren't far!

can prob meet you halfway somewhere if need be, though its better to keep the phyto cold as long as possible lol

Never expected these cultures to produce off quite so fast honestly lol, I ended up spinning up a second pod just to eat up some phyto too.









This used to be my fridge for drinks

My hubby sometimes says I look at my fish more than him! He's been long suffering, of our 44 yrs of marriage I've had fish for 44 yrs! Some of those yrs were FW angelfish.
