question about dosing phyto to rots

[izzypop]

I just started my phyto and rotifer culture last night from live cultures and was wondering if instead of constantly manually feeding the rotifers could I set up my Kent AquaDose and drip phyto into the rotifer tank slowly or is it better to manually do it.

this is my first try at it and I am not looking forward to all the mistakes I am going to make. Had to at least give it a try and does anyone know what I'll get with this mix?

what's a thread without a pic, my proud parents...

unfortunately mistakes is the onlyway you'll get better. Can you setup both ways?

It is fine to drip the phyto into the rots. Just keep the majority of your growing up cultures away from the rotifers. If a rot gets into your culture bottle, it will multiply in there, and your phyto will turn into rotifers.

You don't need a dosing pump. Just put the bottle of phyto higher than the rots and siphon down with airling tubing and an air valve.
