I have a QT that I use for observation only. No medications or copper go into this tank and I run it like a typical nano meaning it has mechanical and biological filtration in the rear chambers. It’s heated and lit.
When I moved my last fish to the DT, I realized it has started to accumulate a healthy population of Amphipods and I wanted to try culturing them. I throw a few pellets in there every few days just to keep up nutrient additions and eventually, the water turned bright green.
I am under the impression that tank water will turn green with phyto if you just give it nutrients and light so my question is is this phytoplankton and is it safe to dose into my DT as such? How can I verify this?
