I did. I started with Mercer of Montana's phyto kit, but you can find the same jars with the plastic lids at Uline.com. Also rigid airline tubing, silicone airline (or preferred variety), check valves, splitters, adjustment valves. For light I used a cheap clip on planted aquarium light, it was less than 20$ and I'm still using it for bbs hatching going on 2 years. But any light usually works, some wrap led strips, some use regular lightbulbs, etc.
Then next, most important step, sourcing pure starter cultures. This was my downfall every time. Eventually mine would change and eventually I got a microscope and realized all my cultures were contaminated, I even ordered fresh 'pure' starters, looked immediately under microscope and could still see initial contamination. I have not tried the Florida algea lab petri disk starter, but those were going to be my next choice when I try again.
I struggled with both phyto and pods contamination, phyto had cyano, hair algea and other unwanted contamination, and each copepod starter had multiple types, no matter how pure thier claims were on species type.
