I've been making my own for 9 months now.

Buy a jug with a lever operated spout vs pop bottles.
Sanitize everything (water included)
Keep Rotifers away if your culturing them.
Don't expect to get ultra dark phyto plankton like reef nutrition sells. Their's is run through a centrifuge apparently.
Don't overdose your tank (my skimmer goes crazy)
