In need of Phyto and Rotifer Cultures and ADVICE!!!

[Cherokee_Dude]

Anyone have any? Looking to buy ASAP and get a set of cultures going for newly laid Clownfish eggs.

Also, please PM or POST any pics of successful setups.

TIA

My setup is simple. A 10 gallon tank with an airstone and a heater.

Does anyone have any Phyto Cultures locally to Boston? I want to set this up soon.
I have frags I can trade if necessary...

Bump...
Anyone a least know of a reliable supplier?

 

[BrianMac]

I order my supplies through Underwater World in Taunton.

If you don't have the supplies ready for this clutch don't worry they will lay eggs again.

Thanks Brian, I will check in with UWW. I pretty much know I'm not prepared for this batch, but they are so nice it's worth the effort to try and breed the next batch

I don't use phyto. I just order Reeds Complete to feed the Rotifers. One less aggravation

Pyto is easy to grow. Just need a container that is clear. Glass jars or even soda bottles. They Need to be cleaned well first. Then just a air line tube and some light. I use foresent and led lights you can purchase at any hardware store. Then use a good food like guillards f/2. Do not use the miracle grow like you will see on the web. Your culture will crash sooner or later if you go that route. I will not recommend miracle grow since there is lots of chemicals in it I would not want in my reef tank.
