culturing algae (phytoplankton) needs care as cultures are prone to crashing. Cultures crash due to contamination with other organisms, inappropriate conditions, age/crowding.

TO manage crashes, culture phytoplankton from small containers in continuous production, upgrading to larger containers (but restarting smaller seed cultures along the way).

algae culture set up:


Use the phytoplankton to sustain rotifer cultures, it's what they eat, and it's what gives them nutritional value for larval fish.
