Thread: 2-Liter Bottles of Phytoplankton for Sale or Trade - AUSTIN

    Default 2-Liter Bottles of Phytoplankton for Sale or Trade - AUSTIN

    I'm culturing alot of phytoplankton still, and I have several extra 2-liter phyto bottles for sale. Rather than paying $20 for 16oz of DT's Phytoplankton, I figured people might want an entire 2-liter for $10 each. I think I have about 6 extra bottles, and they can be stored up to a month in the refrigerator as long as they are shaken up regularly (daily) to prevent the cells from settling to the bottom of the bottom. Otherwise they will smother each other and die.

    Phytoplankton is great for feeding soft corals, feather dusters, and clams, as well as the pod population in your tank & refugium. It has made my soft corals perk up, and micro-fauna in our tanks feed upon it. Dosing it every other day is sufficient, and will result in good pod growth in your reef for some fish such as wrasses and mandarins to feed upon. When feeding phytoplankton, I've always turned off the protein skimmer for an hour to keep the food in the water longer. It also provides an important source of nutrition for clams, soft corals, tunicates, sponges and feather-dusters, as well as, zooplankton such as invertebrate larvae and copepods.

    If you want to trade me a frag for it, I'm open to that as well. Just let me know what you have.
