Rob,

That was an awesome video cast .. very very helpful. I have a setup and have tried growing Phyto with limited results. Gonna try again since watching your vid. Can you please please run a show about the rotifers. That is what I really want to grow to support my new Coral tank.

I do have some questions ... how long do you usually grow the phyto after you split it? I assume it is about 7-10 days.

Some of the source I have read say to use regular tap water for the growing medium. The logic being that the extra phosphate and nutrients actually help grow the phyto ... can you give the pros and cons for this?

Can you talk a little about how you feed your tank the phyto? How much do you use? Are you dripping it? It seems to me that you will produce much more than you can use putting it into your tank on a regular basis ...

Again, very helpful show .. keep up the good work and please follow up with the rotifers!!

Thanks,

John
