Enjoy any comments would be apreciated:biggrin:

You are going to have to send me the specs on your setup!!

looks like nanochloripus.it also looks like you have some pods in your mix.do you run your water through a uv sterilizer before adding to your cultures?if you try tetraselmius,it looks like it is alive under a microscope-always moving.i am also going to start culturing danella as soon as my cultures get here-hopfully this week

I mix RODI then run it through UV sterilizer 100 micron over each vat for contaminant.
Grow Nannochloripsis to about roughly 0.2 billioncell/ml (cell size 2 µm )
Grow Tetraselmis to about 0.12 cell billion/ml (cell size 9-12 µm)
Grow rotifer to about 0.01 billion/ml (2-6 mm range)

After reaching the growth above I mix all in a container to feed daily into my system.So far the bottles I been producing will stay live for about 2 mths unless I have them all as cryo-preserved in witch case last longer refrigerated and up to 6 mths frozen.

for those that emailed and pmed me about the cultures,I wasn't really planning on selling it as I was only producing enough for my systems and a little more, but if I see enough interest I will produce it to sell and offer few different strains.

What are you using for a microscope? I have been looking for one for a while.

I am using AmScope with a USB camera attachment and I modified the illuminator with a 3w cree LED. I love it and soon will be getting a higher Objective Lenses.

awesome video~!

Thanks

10 bottles of 500ml will be ready tonight if anyone is interested :biggrin:

6 bottles of 500ml will be ready for pickup tonight for who's interested:biggrin:
