Starting Phyto Culture - Podcast Episode 71
Well, after much feedback and commentary around the
Phyto Culturing video , i realized one main thing i left out was how to start the culture. well in this video i highlight how to do this using liquid starter culture. THis process is the same using culture disks, but since the liquid is a bit new and seemed to be more confusing i decided to go this route
Or click here to download the individual episode
And Please consider taking the listener survey

Perfect timing Rob. I ordered all my stuff ealier this week. So by next week I will start my first phyto culture. I purchased Nano FAF. I am sorry I didn't support
Algagen , but I wanted to get the plankton collector and phyto at the same place to save on shipping. I will however get the isocrysis from them if all goes well.
Thanks Again Rob!!!

I am kinda trying it. Melev updated his site since I'd been there last. I had emailed him with a question on it, because I was thinking that my splitting it once a week was causing an accumulation of Miracle-Gro.
He said he splits every 4-6 weeks. I went two weeks without crashing, I ended up splitting it to replace what I used. Boy, it got nice and dark too.
Now, I am thinking about buying the discs to start Isocrysis. If I do that, I'll probably switch to Micro Algae Grow. Florida Aqua Farms has it in bigger bottles than the 8.5oz.
