Anyone in the Buffalo area have phyto fertilizer?

[acdraindrps]

I have some rotifer cultures going and was wondering if anyone local could spare some phytoplankton fertilizer until I can get some in.

PM me for my cell number if anyone can help out? Thanks again.

As last resort I'll use Miracle Grow.

Anyone?

NPK is NPK.

I use Miracle Gro on mine to feed rotifers.

Successful for the past 6 months.

you're right, NPK is NPK... But what about all the other stuff in them besides NPK?

Depending on how much you use, Miracle grow can be bad. It contains much more copper and isn't designed for growing phyto where the f/2 is. If all you are doing is growing rotifers to feed fish, you are probably alright. If you are growing them and put them in your reef, I'd stick to the f/2. It would probably take a LONG time before any levels of something grows, but why take that risk? Saving the money isn't worth the risk to me.

Beat me to it. Thanks NirvanaFan.

I guess I will just wait til I can order it in.

Valid point. Mine never ends up in the reef. It's strictly for rotifers-->clownfish larvae.
