Curious if I could just buy spirulina powder online and it be equally as yummy for them (And much cheaper) my LFS sells “live in house phyto” for $8/ 12oz o_O

I know some people use it to culture pods or brine in a stand-alone tank but not sure how it affects water perimeters or if people have added it to a reef never tried it I culture my pods with live phytoplankton

In my experience I feel live Phytoplankton will photosynthesize in the display tank thereby reducing NO3 and PO4. In my opinion it’s benefits are many, the above plus feeding corals and pods with highly nutritious live food. I truly think it is about the best thing we can add to our tanks and do not see any negatives to adding it daily.

A married couple, Harry and Esther, are out shopping one morning when Esther says, "Darling, it's my mother's birthday tomorrow. What shall we buy for her? She said she would like something electric." Harry replies, "How about a chair?"

Serious question tho.
I’ve been digging into the whole “should I continue to dose phyto” debate.
Since a few of you all are awake still

do you dose phyto? How often?
my thought is that I dosed 2x, And I feel like that’s enough. I haven’t needed to do a water change in 3 weeks, and I feel like my pod population speaks for the bioavailability of phyto in the tank.
What do you guys think?

I feed live phyto everyday and get through a 500 ml bottle a week.
Brian said it all, bottom of the food chain.
When I had the huge nutrient spike the first thing I did was pour a 250 ml bottle in. ;)

I guess I am slipping :)

The Falernum might be hard to find. I get mine online. It is a syrup made from lime, ginger, almonds and cloves.

Cobra’s Fang

• 1/2 oz Lime Juice
• 1/2 oz Orange Juice
• 1/2 oz Falernum
• 1/4 oz Grenadine
• 1/4 oz Passion Fruit Syrup
• 1 1/2 oz Dark Rum
• 1/2 oz Demerara 151 Rum
• 1 Dash Angostera Bitters

Thank you..I'll order some Falernum, especially since I'm already 2 and a half hours late for my lunch date with the Devil's Cut...the easy 1 hour toilet replacement ended up being the 5 hour, 3 trips to the hardware store, screaming, cussing and wheres my stick of dynamite toilet replacement ;Rage. Ended up having to replace the busted flange on the drain...what a pain in the butt ;Bored

@Scratch08 I have started making some of these syrups at home, but I have not made Falernum yet. There is a recipe here and there are others out there.

Guess i should have read the rest of the posts before I posted my last one about ordering it ..I will check this out for sure.

You could try the drink without The Falernum first to see if you might like it, before you order it or make it. Each component is subtle in a lot of the tiki drinks. You will notice a lot of 1/2 ounce and 1/4 ounce ingredients, some as little as a few drops.

There is an app that you can get for your phone (I think it was like $10) and I use it often. It is called “Beachbum Berry’s Total Tiki.” A ton of info packed in that one app.

Remember that most of these drinks are from old recipes - some close to a century old. A lot of them were signature drinks at exotic far away hotel bars. The app also has a brief history of where the drink came from.

Our entire basement in North Dakota was a tiki bar that my dad put together back in 1962. I come by my love of tiki from way back. Only recently though have I started to explore the myriad of drinks. :-)

I have a hiatus hernia that kills me now with dark liquor, I used to do JD, I manage to slide a bottle of spiced rum in every once in a while!

So now you're all done with that you can come replace mine too right?

Jim is my normal goto...although I like most all dark liquors, can put away some spiced rum (sailor Jerry's for at home casual drinking) too. I will drink white liquors, but we don't always get along very well.;)

;Hilarious;Hilarious;Hilarious;Hilarious;Hilarious;Hilarious;Hilarious;Hilarious NO!

Yeah don't wow me...I still have one toilet upstairs that needs to be replaced...thinking I may find somebody else to do that one...maybe :rolleyes:

There is also a book entitled, "Smuggler's Cove" that has lots of information about tiki drinks, rum and tiki culture. I have this also.
