Can anyone set me up with a nannoclorpsis starter culture or a good sample that i can process? There is just nothing around in the local shops. Surely someone is brewing up some good greenwater at home....Thanks

1st post - Welcome to Canreef :biggrin:

Is that you Ivan? - Please read here (very similar first post):

If all your looking for is a phyto starter culter - well, good luck to you. There are references in the above linked post that should help you get started. If you would like some advice, then please elaborate on what you are trying to accomplish.

My first reaction to your post is - of course Phytofeast and DTs failed? - A little research and reading could have saved you some time and money. Phytofeast is not a viable starter culter. The makers of DTs claim it should work, but I've never found anyone to support this claim.

My advice, based on personal experience, is that culturing Phyto is another hobby all by itself. You will only be successful through research, trial and error, and dedication. I know some people have had good success, as it sounds like monocus has, but it's not for me.

Yes there are some great articles online that deal with culturing phyto. The actual problem is finding the right starters but thanks for your comments though. Someone in this city has got to have something going on???
