Default Re: Phytoplankton and Rotifer station

You are right oh noble Gresh...my mistake ..I stupidly assumed that DT was the same or similar process to Liquid Life, and I am sorry for misleading anyone.

The stuff you are looking at is great but my LFS does not carry it. At $70 a quart I think I will stay with growing my own. I think I can produce something as good as they can with enough experience. I just started the process and after the first culture I have noticed that the second one is maturing faster and is denser. My next step is to culture the rotifers and start fattening them up with the nanos I am cultivating.

You can also get live nano at FLorida Aqua Farms and a lot of other places. It seems to me that I should be able to feed one reef tank with my own cultures though. I am not planning on going into the coral sales business at this time. I think I need to actually get my one 80gal, little, single tank looking good and actually try putting some more corals in it before I think of mass production!!! *

Thank you so much for the links and the info. I will do more research to see if their are any suggestions for helping my little setup produce better.
