Will your reactor produce an endless supply that can be dosed directly to the dt/fuge or are they made in batches and bottled for later use?

It looks commercial and sleek.

Great setup. I'm just curious what strains you'd recommend to the average reefer that wants to do a more basic setup because of lack of room? Does it make sense to have just one or two more common strains or?

U can use one or two pop clear bottles or buy clear drink dispenser from welmart acrylic or glass all will work as long it's clear
Use starter culture off live nannochlorpsis (green phytoplankton) and F2 fertilizer
Search on YouTube culture live phytoplankton

Oh sorry. I didn't exactly mean a cheaper setup cuz I really line your reactors. I just mean if you didn't have room to setup 4 or 5 different reactors, which strains of phyto would you say are better to use instead of others.

Nannochloropsis is easy to culture as its need minumum mantinant
Isochrysis need strong light
This two phytoplanktons are the best in breeding fry fish , and for reef tank

Hey,

I was at frag fest and have seen the posts and pictures of your setup and I'm quite impressed. Do you culture Rotifers? Also curious about the phyto seems everyone is culturing there own these days. How many systems of yours are kicking around the city and what do you do to reduce crashes?

I'm am toying with the idea of trying my hand in raising some clown fry from my clownfish just to try to challenge myself.
