Phyto Reactor

[MrRyanT]

I guess its time for someone else to take this phyto reactor and see if they can get it to grow some phyto. I've tried 3 times to get a new culture started and it just isn't working. Sooooo.......anyone want to try it?

Really is pretty easy, for some reason I just can't get it to work. You make saltwater to sg of 1.019, you need about 1 1/2 - 2 liters to start with, put in the starter culture of phyto, and put in about 5 ml of fertilizer(miracle gro). Then you put the light on a timer that is on for 16 hrs a day and off for 8 hrs. A lot more info here: http://www.melevsreef.com/phytoplankton.html
