Hi guys, I want to start growing my own Phytoplankton but I understand you need a culture of living Phytoplankton does anyone know where I might be able to get one?

I used Florida Aqua Farms when i was growing Phytoplankton, Zoo-plankton, and rotifers. Have to have a pure culture to being and be very sterile with your equipment. Also will beed Micro Algae Grow. Thanks

I had some cultured some for quite a long time, I got it form Salty Fin. but this week it froze, I left it out on the window over night. I still have some left in the fridge that I havent used. I dont know if it can still be cultured but you can have it. Now if you want a fresh culture you can go to salty fin and get some then start culturing that your self. I stoped using it cause my tank is over stocked and how new york steelo says " the fish pee and poo feeds the coral" LOL

Beto--it's the food chain what Steffen described. You can get a culture of photo rather inexpensive on EBay. you can also get a kit to grow it on your own.
