[FitoPharmer]

can you start cultures with those?

[Seamazter]

Yah, i use live phyto to start all my batches with.
I used to use the disks but a live batch is just as easy, and alot faster.
Mostly you just save money in shipping alot of disks and they keep for a couple of months.

Ive had some that never did grow phyto tho, you normaly dont have that with the live batch as a seed source. Also you can be sure that a phyto disk has little or no contamination, but if you have a reputable source for phyto locally that is a better choice in my opnion.

That what I was going to say, you guys should group buy from someone like Plankton Genesis out of Toronto. I was using it before it was really commercialand have all ways used to for my next strain when doing my own culture.

Plankton Genesis Nannochloropsis Phytoplankton - 3L

Plankton Genesis offers LIVE phytoplankton products in two of the most popular strains – Nannochloropsis

and Isochrysis.

Both of these products are available at Reef Aquatica.

Available in 1L, 2L and 3L sizes.

Live Phyto is a great feed for your reef; corals, filter feeders, copepods, isopods and other micro-organisms will enjoy the extra food source. It can be used to increase the micro-organism populations.

NOTE: We might substitute multiple 1L for 2L or 3L sizes.

Was hoping to hook this up asap but can't find a density stick for Nannochloropsis Phytoplankton

is there another way to make my own diy density stick or to know approx the phyto density?

i bought my density stick at florida aqua farms-but if you want to make one -get a thick piece of plastic-and mark the graduations 3/8 each.bend the end of it over 1 inch and mark a circle on the end-dip it in your culture -and when the circle disappears-you have the reading on the side of the stick
