I’m working on trying to grow phytoplankton cultures and I’ve been trying to find bleach without other stuff added to it like cloromax, fabric protection, etc. I found Clorox germicidal bleach. I am thinking about using this as 2 mL/3 gallons of saltwater to sterilize the “media” with 12.5 ppm chlorine then use 2 mL of STS (19g/250mL water) to neutralize it and then use this as a sterilized culture media.
After it grows plankton, then I’d dose this to my reef tank which leads me to my question, do we see any problems that this could cause with my reef tank? I’m assuming if plankton grow, we should be okay right?
here is the smart label for germicidal bleach: https://smartlabel.labelinsight.com/product/6190768/ingredients
