<DT>Paul,</DT>

<DT>Though I'm no expert, I referred to the Plankton Culture Manual of
Florida Aqua Farms. The two fresh water varieties it shows (though
I'm sure theres a gazillion more) are Nannochloropsis occulata, 4-6 micrometers,
and Chlorella vulgaris, 2-10 micrometers. Based on this I say filtering
them probably isn't a 100% effective means of control.</DT>
<DT><BR>
On a similar subject that I've been dying to ask but is somewhat out of
the realm of this list.. </DT>
<UL>
<DT>Can anyone who has had experience culturing these microalgea email
me privately or post to the list. Are these two algea motile?
I need to mix regularly to resuspend what ever it is I'm culturing at an
SG of 1.010.</DT>
<DT> </DT>
<DT>Will the PMDD work as an additive in the culture water of the above
stated microalgea for the purpose of rotifer/brine cultures? I'm trying
the FAF additive but a 200ml cost $7. Is it any different the say
Seachem flourish (which has worked better), Kent macroalgea additive, Miracle
Grow, ect or a combination of them?</DT>
<DT> </DT>
<DT>Also, hows an uninformed guy get the supplies. Sorry but there
seems to have been a lot of articles saying x% iron, y% manganese, ect.
but not Mix two teaspons of Jobbs with 1 teaspoon of Kents macroalgea mix
and a b12 vitamin (been there, done that). You get my point? </DT>
</UL>
<DT>Thanks for you thoughts and patients. Merry Christmas.</DT>

<DT>P.S. I'm trying to raise maroon clowns. Zero luck so far...</DT>
