Phyto and pods. What's the issue?

[atoll]

Call me stupid ( your stupid) but I have both pods and phyto in abundance in my garden. Old sea water bit of banana skin and a bit of Ulva in a tub. Leave where it gets a bit of sun at least and let nature do it's own thing. I just have about 8 gallons of the stuff in this storage container. Its green, its sea water = phyto surely? Don't ask me what species it is or I will reply green phyto species.
For pods, I have already posted a thread before on a DIY for them.
Am I missing something?

Plenty of pods to harvest. So easy to breed I don't know why more don't breed them.

thats great. My first culture of pods crashed for the most part, but not until after I harvested enough to get them exploding in my fuge.

Meanwhile I just took a bottle of nanno phyto off line as just a 32oz and a 16oz bottle is making it way to fast than I need.

Anyone on Long Island who wants a complimentary steady supply of live phyto, let me know .

Don't let the water get deep green. Don't let it get too much sun, just enough to feed the pods. If it's getting the point where it's hard to see the bottom of the container remove a large amount and add fresh from a water change to dilute it. You can syphon the water through a fine sieve then put them back or feed to the tank. You can put a cover on the container to reduce the amount of light getting to it.

Let me say THANK YOU! Though there isn’t to much Sumer left here in Colorado I’m going to give this a try.
Can I buy some phyto (just dump I. A few bottles to make it green and add some pods)to jump start things?

I don't see why not. However you will need to feed to phyto with a nitrate based plant fertiliser to keep it growing. After all there may be many different strains of phyto but most will feed off nitrate. I put some Ulva intestinalis in the culture to help keep ammonia very low.
