Very nice write up, by the way. I am currently trying to do a culture only using nature light by letting the jar sitting by a window. Not sure if it will work, can anyone who expirence it charm in?
Thanks

it works, not sure how ocean algae spores make it to Ohio, but somehow algae forms all its own. So if it works here it’s sure to work by the bay..
Also plain ole tank water works...usually it also contains pods so sometimes it’s difficult to start but algae usually survives the hot window temps

I am getting ready to start my first batch, I have the Mercer of Montana kit coming in. I have access to lots of this sanitizer and I am wondering if it would be ok to use.

The water will lose all its green color. The darker the green, the more Phyo you have in the water.
Thanks for your respond.
If I tune down my air pump a bit, color is less green and there is some residual on the bottom.
But if I tune up my pump, color is greener and no residual.
Does that mean my culture still alive?
