NFC: Re: phytoplankton and rotifers
I'm a dyed in the wool DIY guy. My aquarium lids are reused windows with old
medicine bottle handles (you get the picture). I had about 150 gallons of
phyto (marine and fresh) in bubbling at all time until last winter under my
1000W metal halide lighting. The amount of time, effort, and space you have
to dedicate to raise phytoplankton is not worth the trouble now that
http://www.brineshrimpdirect.com/ is marketing Inland Seafarm's Algae Paste
Products. This product is a fantastic food or suppliment for daphnia, brine
shrimp, and some very small larval fish. It's marine in origin, but works
fantastically with my freshwater critters as well.
