Phyto cultures around Calgary?
 
Anyone have experience growing their own phyto? I'm thinking Nano or Iso, feeding with F2 instead of MG. Where did you get your cultures or did you buy a bottle of live?

Nothing to it. Light, 2l bottles, water, airpump. I started my cultures with the foulest smelling DT's you could imagine, they have been going strong for almost a year.

I recently got in on an order with another member from Florida Aquafarms for some pure cultures but haven't started them yet. When I do I could send you some to get you going.

Marc's article is great, I also read this month's reefkeeping article about phyto food and how easy it is.

That would be awesome if I could get some of your culture, lemme know when you're going to start it up.

I'll start it up today sometime. Remind me in a week or two that you want some. I'll toss it in the mail for you.
