Just s question I have a few plastic bottles j received pods in and a orange juice bottle is like to store fresh live phytoplankton when I'm ready to harvest it

What is the best way to sanitize the bottles so the live phyto doesn't crash or get contaminated

Rubbing alcohol to kill/sanitize, Let it completely evaporate or dry, or you could rinse out with RO/DI.

Would you rather only keep salt water or fresh water tanks?

Not much. I’m willing to adjust my routine

Not at all. Feeding demands don’t limit my stocking choices

I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!
