How long can the culture be stored in the bottle with a light source? I have no f2 fertalizer so I have to wait until I purchse it.

I assume that would work as phytoplankton is essentially algae and grows off fertalizer, my only concern is that if miracle grow is reef safe?I've had success culturing it using liquid miracle grow instead of buying F2. I just add a bit of miracle grow every time I split the culture.
Oh My Gosh, Are U kidding me? I been doing phyto and rotifers, and copepods for years.
I would be scared to death to use miracle grow! What even made you think that far outside the box?
Any crashes? How the heck does it work? Has to be tons cheaper but afraid would poison clown fry I breed?
Can U elaborate a bit more on it please?
Many use miracle grow, many avoid it. The copper levels are debate-ably concerning. It still contains all the nutrients to grow plants, while leaning terrestrial of course, marine plants require most of the same stuff.
I would be inclined to say no. Spirulina is an algae that they eat and you’re gut loading. Miracle grow is a fertilizer you’re feeding to the phyto to give them nutrients to grow. Different concepts.
Technically a cyanobacteriaI would be inclined to say no. Spirulina is an algae that they eat and you’re gut loading. Miracle grow is a fertilizer you’re feeding to the phyto to give them nutrients to grow. Different concepts.
No, certainly not. It is a plant fertilizer, not a food source for those. If you culture phyto why are gutloading with other stuff. A good mix of phyto should be enough. Or just keep going and start culturing spirulina as well, would be easy enough.That's really cool. Thanks for the info. I'm going to try using it,
Quick question. Can the miracle grow be used to enhance toe rotifers and copepods instead of the spirlla (msp) lol, and others?
