Hey y'all. I made the stupid decision last month buying a professional phytoplankton reactor for around $250, only to realize what I purchased was a tall green bottle and a flourescent light bulb. I feel so ripped off.
Heres the aquacave link to it: http://www.aquacave.com/detail.aspx?ID=513
Dont get me wrong, its really high-quality and professional looking, but it is way over priced for what I received.
Well anyways, i stumbled upon this here website last month:
http://www.melevsreef.com/phytoplankton.html
I ordered an algae disk to start my culture immediately thereafter, which arrived 2 weeks ago. Now, I have a great culture of the phyto growing in my office closet. This is a much better deal than DT's phytoplankton.
So if you're ever curious about growing your own phytoplankton, or just looking to save money, I highly recommend growing your own with the directions given on that site.
