Hey all,
Been culturing phyto (nanno) for about a month now, harvest once per week in these ~1.7L glass containers. Today I took a look and my culture turned a very different green than the usual healthy looking dark green that it turns. I assume my batch was contaminated? Has anyone experienced this before and what are some good methods to avoid this? Apologies for the black banding, the LED lights don't play nice with my phone camera. Culture is on the right, left is my not so great pod culture I started. Stats below:
1.7L Culture Container
Air Pump into rigid tubing, quite bubbly
Nanno culture
~2mL F/2 every week when I start a new batch.
