really enjoyed this vid. I'm just getting into culturing and I think its so cool :)

@smt6545 4 года назад

Just wanted to say thank you for mentioning the Fritz PRO - F/2 Algae Food. I live in Canada where i cant get the geralds stuff shipped in and have been using miracle grow.

@stephenwyard4938 3 года назад

You can also get it from canadian agriculture in quebec.That where I get it from.

@tyler.salty_beard 4 года назад

How is that light working out? Do you still plan on doing a video on aquaculturing copepods? Thanks!

@spencerherrick9392 2 года назад

Another question for you, Jeff. Just like your tank, I imagine some of the water will evaporate. Do I need to top off with fresh RODI water?

@robertstevens7812 4 года назад

Nice. Seems easy im gona try it

@MadHattersReef 4 года назад

All you need to do is keep it clean and it does it all on its own.

@tomgiddens3833 4 года назад

Can you add a link to where you got the culture?

@tyler.salty_beard 4 года назад

Can you do a video on how to aquaculture copepods?

@TheBobby416 4 года назад

All that stuff

@MadHattersReef 4 года назад

I plan to doing a whole series on live food. Make sure you hit that bell and select all.

@Adammillett3 3 года назад

Mad Hatter's Reef did you ever get your video posted on copepods?

@narcoti 3 года назад

@@MadHattersReef I am trying to culture pods for my mandarin I would love to see a video on it.

Great video Jeff! You know what is crazy....I'm actually making a revised video on this same topic right now as well. I can already tell your vid will grab the top spot and pass mine for the good key phrases! Lol. Your channel is a beast!! You got this RU-vid thing figured out buddy. Happy reefing bud. I love your vids, you have taught me so much over the years and are an inspiration to work hard at becoming a successful RU-vidr! 👊✌

@raysville7256 3 года назад

Xcellent!

@spencerherrick9392 2 года назад

Great video. Thanks for the info. What brand are those lights and how did everything turn out after this?

@mnelson10000 4 года назад

Bleach is what I used when I cultured. Just add it to the water and let it bubble for 10 minutes, then add enough dechlorinator to neutralize the bleach. Let that bubble for like another 10 minutes and inoculate as normal.

@MadHattersReef 4 года назад

Thanks for the tip!

@TheBobby416 4 года назад

For real? That so cool

@coltoncarmody1782 Год назад

Jeff once the phytoplankton are cultured and thriving is there concern that bacteria will kill them?

@MadHattersReef 7 месяцев назад

@spencerherrick9392 2 года назад

Made this exact setup with same light. Spoke with several people on some other forums that said this light will not be powerful enough to make dense cultures. Can you challenge those assumptions? What was your turnout?

@Connolly135 3 года назад

Could you tell me what the light is called and where to find it please

@colbylacy8651 2 года назад

How would you go about splitting the culture?

@SCHUYLERDR 4 года назад

Where did you get the F2 and the Phyotoplanktin

@jamescrutchfield6141 3 года назад

Did a good job avoiding that.. Mercer of Montana

@apdroidgeek1737 4 года назад

Can phytoplankton reproduce in my reef tank so i dont have to culture them..? I just need it for my feather duster to consuke

@vishwassharma7741 3 года назад

Do they produce any oxygen or are they just for the aesthetic of aquarium?

@kilesprofit8917 3 года назад

they do produce oxygen

@Adammillett3 3 года назад

What would happen if you didn’t split your culture every week? Say you are producing way more than you need. Can you let it continue to sit with the air flowing and the light on but not splitting or feeding it and it will be fine until you’re ready to split? Or is it better to put it in to the fridge until you’re ready to split?

@droabedi5778 3 года назад

is there a link? where we can buy the stuff?

@MontysWall 3 года назад

Do you reckon you could grow it in a window with sunlight?

@jmccoy96jm 4 года назад

Hey man. I've seen some people just putting their old filter floss in some saltwater and setting it out in the sun and it seems to be working for them to produce phyto. Any thoughts?

@persephoneunderdark1597 4 года назад

So ive tried to google this but i guess it would be easier to just ask here, do you NEED to split your cultures? My wants are less as a food source for pods and more of a want to produce oxygen. I dont know if im missing a step in my thinking. Id appreciate some more info?

@zacherirutherford7809 3 года назад

Can I use any live phytoplankton?

@dylankim2497 3 года назад

What salinity is the water?

@nathancates6 2 года назад

were do you get starter

@tommycristaldi9037 2 года назад

How long after 8 days have past of culturing it will it stay good for in the fridge?

@MadHattersReef 2 года назад

I’ve had it last a very long time in the fridge. Months.

@robspielmann9244 4 года назад

Do u run the light 24/7??

@MadHattersReef 4 года назад

Yes. I do... Others have done 16 hours on and 6 off.

@stephenwyard4938 3 года назад

can you use less culture to start new culture. Or do you need to do the 2 to 1 ratio to start

@kilesprofit8917 3 года назад

so long as you have a live cell in the starter culture you can ignore the 2:1 ratio, however, it will take longer to grow depending on how little phytoplankton you add

@paulfoxgrover7719 4 года назад

Is temperature important?

@MadHattersReef 4 года назад

Room temperature is fine. You don’t want it too hot or too cold.

@TheBobby416 4 года назад

In a box. Yes. Light turn off near 90 degrees Fahrenheit. And snowballs away

@anthonyrodriguez2570 4 года назад

So are the red, blue, white spectrum LED fixtures we use for the refugium not good for Phytoplankton growth?

@dominicpatti2648 3 года назад

"I'm just going to use this funnel so I don't make a complete mess" . . . . 2 seconds later spills everywhere HAHAHAHA

@britadamski6029 4 года назад

Did an update for this video happen yet?

@wishdrftr 4 года назад

Excuse my ignorance but what is the phytoplankton for?

@MadHattersReef 4 года назад

Phyto can be fed to invertebrates such as copepods

@anthonyrodriguez2570 4 года назад

Don’t corals consume it as well?

@wishdrftr 4 года назад

So this is culturing a food to feed to other food lol whew!

@nathanmoore7142 4 года назад

Where do you get the f2 and starter kit?

@MadHattersReef 4 года назад

I got this one on eBay give me a week or two and I’ll have some on my site.

@northfloridafungi9336 3 года назад

that is not sterilization, its sanitization. sterilizing can only be done with an autoclave. I grow mushrooms and raise phytoplankton for a living and have for many years. I sterilize my jars (glass only) by cooking for 45 minutes at 15psi in a pressure canner.
