Hey guys, so I'm setting up my first copepod cultures (Tigger pods) and am trying to decide which of these two techniques to use as a beginner. The first one I've researched simply involves adding phytoplankton to the culture container and seems to be the most popular. The second technique is one that a very helpful member here told me about which involves just putting a banana peel in the water for several days or so until the water turns green as a food source. Ideally, I'd like to use small open tanks containers a window to provide light for the phyto instead of using closed containers and artificial light sources. As for phytoplankton, i don't have access to all the algae barn products (and many other popular companies) but what i do have access to are mixtures of phytoplankton species such as Seachem Reef Phytoplankton and a couple local brands of questionable quality. I know nannochloropsis is usually the preferred phyto and these mixes contain at least some of it or i could order one of Brightwells products that's all nannochloropsis but it would be a little pricey for shipping here. Is it worth it to get pure nanno or even really that beneficial if i go the traditional route adding Phytoplankton to the culture? Any and all thoughts are appreciated as long as they're constructive...thanks guys!
