I'm guessing I know the answer to this but:
I'm considering starting a live phytoplankton culture. There's really no way to add this to an auto doser without potentially dying and fouling the batch?
My thoughts - make a small batch (1 or 2 weeks worth) and add a bubbler. If I were dosing 10 ml daily, add 5-10 ml of fresh saltwater to the dosing container daily to account for the Phyto repopulating.
Add new fertilizer once or twice a week to keep it fed and growing.
My theory, even with all of this it would foul in a day or two?
Has anyone ever tried anything similar? Is there a way to successfully do this long term?
I'd be happy if I could get this to work for even just two weeks and then drain and clean the container and add more, fresh Phyto.
