Phyto culturing

Post by tinkerman on Mon Oct 05, 2009 8:56 pm

Is anyone growing their own phyto or has done this? I am getting interested in this as a coral food. If anyone is doing thiswould you be willing to sell or give some to get started?

Are you getting Micro algea growth on your Glass? if so once you clean it off your basicly dosing your tank with Phytoplankton every time you take a Magnet cleaner to the Glass and clean off the Algae film that grows on your Glass your turning that algea to free floating Algae in other terms Phytoplankton.
and if your getting good Micro algae growth on the Glass and Dosing it too more then likely over time it could just start creating unwanted Phosphates.
