Again , another great simple video , thank you , I have some questions, after my first culture can I use some of it for the next culture? Where to keep my F2 ?
No dosing specifics required. Its very hard if not impossible to over do it. I literally just dump a big cup in every other night at lights out. Too little wont do much. 1-5ml per gallon is fine.
Is it possible to use sunlight? I heard people said sunlight is better than LED. Is direct sunlight harmful to the culture and can I switch to LED if sunlight is not enough in the winter?
Cool good video
Thanks for the visit
One of the best videos I have watched on this. I definitely will try this
You should! And keep me updated!
@@reefrookies I will definitely do
Awesome!
Glad you think so!
Great Video
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video, best I have watched. One question - is there a certain ratio of starter culture to saltwater I need to abide by?
Not really. The one I have linked from Mercer I use half of that bottle to 1 gallon.
Great video!
Thanks!
this is badass, i was using algae barn phyto and it worked awesome. Thank you going to try this next.
Awesome! Jump in our FB group and let is follow your progress. Reef Rookies with Logan

Where to keep my F2 ?
Yes you can! I leave half in the jar to keep it going. Keeping the F2 in the fridge will extend its usefulness.
Thank you , are we using the white light ?
@@aymanmorsy19 yes, the best are plant growing lights specifically but just about any will do.
@@reefrookies thank you
After day 10. What is the process of adding it to the tank, and how much? Dosing machine, maybe?
No dosing specifics required. Its very hard if not impossible to over do it. I literally just dump a big cup in every other night at lights out. Too little wont do much. 1-5ml per gallon is fine.
@@reefrookies should the filtration be stopped during feeding?
@@Trioceros_h Yeah, ita beneficial to do so.
Can you make a video on how to culture pods please
Its on the list of things to do!! You subscribed so ya dont miss it?
How do you continue the cycle of growing them? Leave a percentage in the jar and refill with saltwater?
Exactly, I harvest half from each jar to make a gallon of harvested phyto wich is good in the fridge for a month :) Then just refill with saltwater.
Do you top off with rodi when the culture evaporated? Im on day 3 of the culture and the culture evaporated a little bit
No I haven't had to, my evap is low enough that I dont need to top off. But, if I needed to yes I would, otherwise the salinity would change.
You can get these LEDS at 5 and below.
Good to know! Im upgrading lights.
Is it possible to use sunlight? I heard people said sunlight is better than LED. Is direct sunlight harmful to the culture and can I switch to LED if sunlight is not enough in the winter?
Honestly Im not sure. Very interesting thought though!
