    Can Reef Nutrition foods be combined?

    I currently feed @Reef Nutrition Oyster Feast, R.O.E, Arcti Pods, and Phyto Feast. Can at least the first 3 in those list be combined into a single feed? I'm looking at setting up an auto feeder with a small fridge and this would make things much easier using a single dosing line. Also, Apex...

    White particles in phyto?

    Hi everyone, For those of you that are culturing (or have cultured) phyto, have you ever noticed white particles developing? If so, any idea what they are and if they can be fed to the reef or need to be filtered out, or even not used? I’ve got two cultures going; one has these white...

    Auto Dosing Refrigerated Food

    I've seen a few posts of DIY solutions for auto dosing refrigerated food. I'm looking for some updated thoughts. How difficult would it be to auto dose using something like one of the Koolatron 6 can fridges? I currently feed @Reef Nutrition Phyto Feast, Arcti-Pods, and TDO. I also feed Red Sea...

    Kent PhytoPlex got too hot?

    Yesterday, I received a bottle of Kent Marine PhytoPlex which had been sitting in a mailbox for 5 hours. The outside temperature was in the high 90’s (Fahrenheit) and the bottle was quite hot to the touch, so I immediately placed the it in the refrigerator, where it has stayed ever since. Is it...

    Algae-control over Algae-elimination

    Expert level stuff here, but I want to share my own experience. Everyone has their own husbandry and is entitled their their own-way-of-doing-things. I have for awhile now been dosing 32ozs of tetraselmis phytoplankton algae that I brew on my basement in two big 5gal containers with spouts...

    Phytoplankton Production

    Hey guys, we started a phyto culture and the first batch took 14 days before we could split it. This time it only took 4 days and it looks like we can split it again. Should we let it go longer or do you think we should split it? What it looked like when starting What it looks like right now

    Self Sustaining Pod Culture - I think I accidentally made one?

    A while ago (Oct/Nov of last year; 7-8 months ago) I set up a little pod/phyto culture in a 2.5 gal tank. It's just regular reef tank water, a bubbler with a wooden air stone that I weighed down with a piece of dry rock and the whole thing is lit by a 9 watt 6500k pendant LED for 8-16 hrs a day...

    Michigan Chaeto + Nannochloropsis Phyto

    I have: 4 Quarts of Chaeto for sale. I'm asking $15/each shipped. 5 - 16oz bottles of Nannochloropsis Phyto. They were cultured using f/2 WITHOUT silicates. For this reason, and due to the nature of Nanno, it's not quite as dark as other phytoplanktons. This phyto is alive, and it's dense. I'm...

    Is it possible to build a self-sustaining pod/phytoplankton culture?

    I'm convinced it is possible and have started a series of experiments to find out that magical combination! So why would you want to do this? Well, Phytoplankton is the base food of the ocean.. it feeds your copepods.. which intern feeds your fish and coral.. Self-sustaining live food? yes...
