Fresh LIVE Phyto 8-Species Blend – FREE SHIPPING

[Eldredge]

I heard from a local reeder he loves your pods and phyto. Do you have a website or product/pricing info

Hello! Thanks for you interest! I don't have a website, but there is some info about the phytyo in the first post of this thread.

I culture Tisbe, Apocyclops, and Tigriopsis copepods. I sell a mix of the three species for $12 for 12oz or $23 for 24oz.

I harvest every Monday and ship on Tuesday. If you would like something, you can send me your PayPal email and I will send you an invoice. Or, I can do Venmo if you prefer.

Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!

I'd like to get photo and some pods. I added a Mandarin and want to make sure he has enough pods to eat.

I'd like to order phyto and pods. I have a 140 gallon display with a mandarin fish so I want to keep a good supply of pods. I do have a fuge where they should be breeding. Can I get a 24 oz bottle of pods. I'd also like some phyto. How much do you recommend/day for a 140 gallon mixed reef system (3 years old so mostly frags and not colonies yet)?

Hello! That's great! Sounds like you have a nice system.

It is pretty difficult to overdose live phyto. In short, almost any amount added on a consistent basis will be beneficial. The organisms that consume it will grow and multiply to a point of equilibrium. This will be very beneficial to the system. The phyto feeds some organisms (including some corals) directly, and other organisms and corals consume the increased pods, offspring, and microorganisms that multiply because of the increased phytoplankton available. The phyto also consumes nutrients until it is consumed itself.

Having said that, I usually recommend starting to dose at 3ml/10gallons of system volume per day. So, for your system probably about 50ml/day. This will actually give you more phyto cells than most other brands because I grow and ship the phyto at much denser levels than most growers. As you observe, you can increase this amount by several times if you want (my smallest system is a 40 breeder with 20 sump, and I dose about 150ml/day). Or, a smaller amount would be okay too. But, since you are trying to maintain a pod population for your mandarin, I would go heavier if you can.

Fresh live phyto will keep for quite a while in the fridge. It is best to give it a gentle shake once a day. For the first month, there really isn’t any noticeable change. During the second month, the motile cells become less active, but there is still a fair amount of activity. By the end of the third month, there isn’t really any activity, but the cells are still intact. If a new culture is started with the three-month old sample, it will grow and some of the cells will be motile. So, using the phyto within a month would be ideal, within two months is fine, and even three months is probably okay.

If you would like to place an order, please send me your PayPal email and I will send you an invoice. Or, I can do Venmo if you prefer.Please let me know if you have any other questions.

I saw that you were culturing iso. I tried to, but I'm not sure what I ended up with. It's really really dark, almost reddish brown. I don't know if I ended up with some sort of bacteria or maybe something else. What did yours look like?
