Not at the moment but within the next few months.

I dabbled for a few months and had a good batch going. To try things out I used DT's for a starter which I believe is a blend of nano, T-iso, and tet? Cultures started out a nice bright green but over time they switched to a yellow-gold as one strain took over. I then "pushed" the culture to see how long before it crashes (over two weeks). Next time around I'll be starting with pure strains and improve hygiene to prevent cross-contamination. I will be culturing calanoid copepods next year so I need to get the phyto down pat. I'll be getting in some pure strains and will let you know, would be nice to share cultures so we have back-ups.
