Does running a UV-C 254nm sterilization light completely wipeout my growing and dosing of live tetraselmis phytoplankton?
Is it completely counterproductive wasting time and effort if I ran both UV-C light and dosed tetraselmis?
Hmmmmmm.
This is smthg I want to see for myself.... so I'm running a simple experiment.
Wondering what will happen if UV-C 254nm sterilization light is exposed to live tetraselmis phytoplankton over the course of hours or days.
LIVE tetraselmis from my own home brew station:
Seeing if/when the tetraselmis crashes into clear brown water
Live sample (edited, originally had a gatorade bottle but switched to glass crystal per a posters suggestion below):
Starting the sterilization exposure. Exposure going to be non stop 24/7
I guess we should all wear glass masks...Fwiw,
Common grades of glass block 90%+ of wavelengths shorter than ~290 nM.
That includes the glass you have the phytoplankton in.
Would the corals still consume dead phyto and would it be nutritious.
