A couple questions about phytoplankton

[saltwater4life1]

Hi guys,
A few days ago i was reading a thread on another forum about this guy who switched from "dead" plankton to "live" and how much healthier his corals and inverts have been since doing so.
That being said i got interested and started doing some research on it and though I might be able to do this. So i have a few questions.
1. All i need is some clean empty soda bottles, air pump + tubing, fresh 1.019sg saltwater, light and a kit?
2. Would the U-GROW kit that FAF sell be a good kit? www.florida-aqua-farms.com/
3. If so the kit comes with ether Nanochloropsus or Tetraselmis which would be better?

I think that is it.

Thank you very much for your time!

1) A few 2 liters, air pump, air line tubing, ridgid air line tubing.
2)Home Depot sells 24" and 48" shoplights. They sell 6500k bulbs for them. Thats what I use. Pretty inexpensive.
3)Nano I think is easier. It lasts longer in the fridge and is almost the "Universal" phyto. Tetra doesnt store as long and is best for clams.

Okay so Nanochloropsus it is
I'm sure i'll have other questions when i'm setting this all up.
Thanks!
