plankton

Hi all, I tested my water Friday, did a water change and tested again today (Sunday.) My phosphates rose from .8 to 1.6 over that time span. The only thing I did between the tests is add a small amount of phytoplankton and feed slightly heavier. My Phosphates have always stayed at .6-.8 which...

Really happy that small businesses are starting up again in this field of hobby. Wish ive seen this post before i got my berghias. I could have tried getting it from you and could be cheaper too. In any case happy to know you guys are here.

I'm currently cycling my first tank, and somehow gaslit myself into think the nitrogen cycle was measured in days not weeks. I have an order of ecopods and oceanmagik coming from AlgaeBarn to develop the plankton population in the tank post cycle but it will arrive way before the nitrogen cycle...

Hi all, Brand new user here, and praying this gets some traction. I'm embarking on a sort of ridiculous project that it seems like this forum is uniquely poised to help with. I am a PhD student at Duke University studying the functional genomics of how calcifying marine invertebrates (think...

I don’t know if I want to go through the trouble of cultivating or buying phytoplankton, but I want to cultivate copepods. I wondered if there’s any dried food they will eat or an easier/cheap alternative?

Now that we've had the Plank in production and shipping for over a year and Reef Jerky for almost as long, we'd love to hear from all of you about how and what you're feeding your tanks. We'd love to hear whether or not you use the Plank and/or Reef Jerky, (if no, why not?) and what you'd like...

Hi Everyone, I'm curious to where everyone is getting their copepods/phyto from. There's so many dealers out there, and I've heard horror stories of people getting pods shipped to the DOA.

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...
