Yep. You're crazy! Okay, that's either a very elaborate phyto production device, or completely inappropriate for R2R.

Phyto , i'm working hard to be lazy lol...
It's only a proto and its not even done.

Just curious. Do you have a white lab coat, wild hair, and an assistant named Igor? ;) Seriously, I'd like to see this thing in action when you get it finished.

Why do it like that? Ive seen people with many bottles for phyto that use manifolds with individual valves to adjust airflow.
Something like this.

Well, there are added features on my setup that arent on the ones i've seen ...
Ill try and explain it once it is done but basicaly right now i'm making a 3d plan instead of a paper plan ;Happy

So here it goes , the bottle has been added phyto from my lfs. I think it's 4 times as dark as it was 2 days ago.
My LFS salesguy was absolutely negative about growing my own type of phyto he said it will crash and/or not give enough nutrients to the tank.
So much for the advice.
The light is from Costco , only red and blue designed for mini greenhouse's

:cool:

You, sir, have gone full reef geek!

Looking cool. The lfs guy could be right if you dont keep things clean and keep competing bacteria out of your phyto. If dont correctly it wont crash.

How exactly would I do that ?

Look up phytoplankton youtube videos. You will see how others are doing it. Great info out there.

Look up Poseidon phyto culture system! You need to keep everything as sterile as possible to avoid crashes. I will start my own culture once I’m done fighting dinos.

 

[anon9896]

Definitly darker
