Phytoplankton keep sinking

[Danh Ngo]

I started a culture of phyto 2 days ago. Algeabarn phyto
Salinity: 1.019
Using Voss bottle rigid tube + airline, 6k5 floroucense light, f/2
Any idea? Should I increase the bubbles so phyoto dont settle down on the bottom?

Yes, increase aeration.

Try to get it looking like a rolling boil, but not too crazy where its leaving foam on top. FWIW, the cultures they sell are live, but a mix of multiple phytos, this won't really remain that way. Likely one will overtake the rest.
