Who is the local person here that cultures algae?

Around every 6 months I see a thread on someone who has more algae then they need.

This has become a funny topic among a group of people. Some don't want to give up anything.....Almost to the point that some people are being selfish opposed to furthering the hobby.

Thank you Jay but I am looking for Nanochloropus. I rather buy it local if I can.

I used to culture it in my classroom, but we don't have any cultures going yet this year. I think SaltWater Junkies is culturing some phyto.

i used to culture it and its really not that hard. more frustrating due to crashes than anything else. make sure you always have atleast wo cultures going. you can order a starter culture online for about $20 and grow your own (F2 food about $12). there are plenty of videos on youtube. get it from a reputed source though, if culturing is what you choose to do, and not most of the local shops. that way you can ensure that a clean nannochloropsis culture is what you are actually getting. good luck

but if you do find some, id too like to get some and start culturing again...

I don't recall ever giving any away, especially in the last year. After my search I didn't see anything under a search for nanno, nannochloropsis or phyto with my username. I assume you are confusing me for someone else. A few of the people I know that still do are being reclusive about selling any so you can't start your own batch.

When I said the post was from "this person" I guess you assumed it was you & that's not what I meant. BTW I purchased some online & it will be here tomorrow.

Saltwater Junkies

Saltwater Junkies

SJ cultures their own at a reasonable price. They have several kinds as well as baby and adult brine. It's like a soda fountain for saltwater, lol. You can fill a bottle with a combo of different kinds. 101 and Olive.
