What should I do with my Phytoplankton?

[EliWhitney314]

I was going to put some pods in a seperate small container and feed them in there. So how do I keep my plankton fresh? The fridge? How long do they live and how much should I feed?

 

[EliWhitney314]

eh???

I bought phytoplankton before I was told I didn't need it. But I don't want to waste it now.

Geez impatient much!! ;)

It will keep for quite a while in your fridge. Did you buy live? If it's not live, then it will last even longer.

What brand did you get? There should be directions on the bottle (so many drops per gallon).

 

[EliWhitney314]

Sorry Bifferwine, I bought it before you told me. I am so ashamed....

I bought it off ebay and it came in a bag. Yes they are live.

Well I'm a dumb dumb...there are directions on the link.

 

[Bifferwine]

Hahaha! You're funny.

It will keep for several weeks in the fridge. But you can tell when it starts to go bad -- it will STINK!!

A liter is a lot, though. A tank full of corals would have a hard time going through a liter before it goes bad, I think.

 

[EliWhitney314]

Bwahaha. I can just drink.

Do you need any bifferwine?

It will keep for quite a while in your fridge at least 2-4 weeks.

 

[Bifferwine]

Do you need any bifferwine?

Now that you mention it, I should be dosing my ric tank with it, I think.

 

[EliWhitney314]

Do you really want some? if you pay the shipping fee I will send you a good amount.

 

[Bifferwine]

No thanks :( I know a guy that cultivates it locally. He has a big tub of it brewing and bottles it up and sells it for really cheap to anyone that needs some. But thanks for the offer!!
