Re: Phytoplankton culture

I've actually got some good cultures going right now of rotifers (Brachionus plicatilis) and Nannochloropsis oculata. I'm looking into bottling and selling locally as well so there's an alternative to DT's around here. Odds are I'll start cultivating a mix in a few weeks to make a blend more similar to what's out there.

If you want, I can send a small starter culture of the Nanno for the cost of shipping/supplies. Should do just fine via Priority mail (it can handle temp extremes, but I've got some 40-hour heat packs). Shouldn't run more than $9-10 delivered. Shoot me a PM or email. If the whole club is interested, you guys can split costs and divide the culture as needed. I've started whole bottle of the stuff with a 1 mL inoculant...normally takes 6-8 days to get a good thick culture going with proper care, see progression below.





LOL, I know it's not a professional setup yet, but if I can drum up enough interest, I plan on investing in some larger 4 feet-tall x 10-12" diameter reactors...

BTW, I may need a "southern region" salesperson in a few months!

Re: Phytoplankton culture

As I woke up to another inch of snow this morning...I'd rather BE back in TN, not just on the boards!

Any help I can offer I'm glad to. Like I said, if you want a start culture I'd be happy to ship one down there for the cost of shipping.
