What happened to Mercer of Montana?

[Roccopaul]

I went order some phytoplankton to start a culture and their products are gone off of Amazon and their website has vanished.

Also, any other decent place to buy phyto? My last batch crashed out and I’m in need of new cultures.

I use to buy from them.... but now buy from these guys who have an in depth product line.

PROFESSIONAL COMPANY... not some etailer growing stuff in their converted garage.

Super high quality stuff

I just got an order from mercer last week. Did notice their website was discontinued, but I figured they decided it wasn't worth paying for a website when sales were centralized on Amazon.

All of their Phyto was taken down from Amazon. They also are not selling their culture kits anymore.

I just bought a kit from Mercer of Montana on Amazon and just got notification that it was shipped.

The mystery deepens. I just did a search and there is still a link from Google to Amazon US but when I click on it nothing comes up just other suppliers. Amazon Canada shows that it's currently unavailable and their website is gone (as mentioned). There is someone on eBay selling their stuff but they are also out of stock. Weird.

That is only the jar and rigid tube. The phytoplankton isn’t part of that package. Previously they had a package that included the jar, tube, extra air tubes, phytoplankton and f/2 fertilizer. That’s been taken down.

Their eBay store is still there, no phyto cultures though, only f/2 fert and sieves

They have everything back on Amazon.

Last large bottle of nano I got from him was very weak and not thick like usual. it settled in about an hour and was 99.75% water. Its possible his phyto cultures crashed and had to restart

Florida aqua farms is great as well

I'm not sure what happened to them. They had a really good product, in my experience. We have phyto for sale, if you haven't found a source yet. Just click the banner ad in my signature!

I just Bought from them. I bought tetra. 50 bucks for 32 oz, jar, salt, tubing, and fertilizer. This is really weird.
