  • @TheKleinReef I ordered it from a Lab once and it took for ever to get to me. I've been getting it on E*bay as of lately.

  • what food you give the phytoplankton

  • @ifleitas its called F2, A Lab made fertilizer

  • how long you leave the ligths on?

  • @jerielalex1 I leave them on 24 hours a day. Most hobbyist run the lights 12 to 16 hours a day.

  • hi i am new to culturing phytoplankton, so i bought some phytoplankton and some copepods and rotifers to start to new cultures. how can i grow phytoplankton effectively whilst also feeding the copepods and rotifers culture. do u need to add the fertiliser to the phytoplankton everyday and do i need to feed the copepods and rotifers with the phytoplankton everyday. please help thank you

  • For this particular culture, my salinity is actually about 1.025 sg. I find that tank salinity makes the transfer to corals much easier.Thank you for providing a link to my eBay page, and you definitely did a good job on this video.
