Using Your Green Water Machine and Making 5 Gallon Buckets of Green Water

- This video thoroughly explains how to use The Green Water Machine and how to make five gallon buckets of green water.
The Green Water Machine is a one gallon jar kit that comes with everything you need to make your own live green water. I’m using “Green Water” as an umbrella term for a living culture primarily consisting of multiple species of single cell algae and other infusoria. This kit includes a live green water starter culture and comes with enough algae fertilizer/nutrient to make 3 gallons of green water. Algae fertilizer/nutrient and live green water starter cultures are also sold separately at www.phillipsfi...

I love playing with greenwater so much I woke up out of bed to look at the green water grabbed a small bottle of water out of the mini fridge, got stoned and was looking at my different cultures of green water that I put in empty water bottles and accidentally opened one and took a warm sip😢
🙏 welcome lol I took some in the eye the other day after a similar origin story 😅
I'm curious what species of algae you are using in your cultures. I'm guessing it is Chlorella Vulgaris, but I would be interested in knowing for sure. Cool idea BTW
I've struggled making green water in the past until I watched your videos. Thank you for the tools and for sharing countless invaluable information! Now I'm a green water making machine! 🤣🤣
I love this! Thanks for making it so accessible. You did all the hard work and now we just have to get a starter and can potentially keep it indefinitely with a little fertilizer/nutrient. I'm just getting started with daphnia and wanted to avoid all the powders and the like.
I just ordered both Daphnia and a few other things but I'm kinda wishing I bought the green water also. I have a few buckets made with the scuds I also purchased from you a few months ago and they are thriving Tony. But know I'm seeing your green water cultures I should of bought that as well,, my 5 gallon bucket has been going for 2 months and the water is definitely green. But I have 2 other 5 gallon buckets going that I have the light on 12-14, hours a day it might take a little while to turn green. Anyways I love the videos and this one is gonna be good and it will give me pointers on getting green water. Tony you definitely do live cultures great man I enjoy your videos and I enjoy getting those live critters from you oh and my fish love it as well 😀
Another great video. Been recommending your site to lots of fish keepers 😊
You mentioned that the green water will settle without the air flow keeping it in circulation; would this mean that I could take a sample of it and put it in a feeding dish for use as a concentrated algae dinner for tank inhabitants?
Look up "Cody'slab algae", he built a system ment for human consumption 😀
new subscriber love your videos and site your a great help and understanding you is perfect
Thanks so much! Glad you found us!
Ordered my green water yesterday!
I've got some copepods in my scud culture, and I'm going to try subculturing them in this green water as well. Hopefully I can mass produce them just like the daphnea.
Hi Tony, I was watching some of your videos and you have really cool stuff on here. I subscribed to your channel.
Can you throw a snail into to keep it going?
What algae specie is in the kits?
I was also interested in if you have tried various algae culture types vs daphnia long term success?
Here's a list of algae species commonly used to feed Daphnia:
1. Chlorella vulgaris
2. Scenedesmus obliquus
3. Ankistrodesmus falcatus
4. Chlamydomonas reinhardtii
5. Nannochloropsis sp.
6. Tetraselmis sp.
7. Isochrysis galbana
8. Dunaliella tertiolecta
9. Phaeodactylum tricornutum
10. Spirulina platensis
Just stopping in to let everyone know abt my adventure w green water⚘️✌️🌴 first, thank you to Phillips Fish Works for all the attention and follow up with me. Today, customer service doesn't exist so on that front A+.
The green kit wants for nothing. Wow. A+ seriously, nothing is needed except air.
I have 4 jars, getting ready to purchase 2 more and then start on 2 buckets. I have abt 80 betta fry I'm keeping alive on these critters n green water
Ya'll need to try this if only to offer your water pets a live treat
Thank you.
I made some green water with the same principles in a 5 gallon bucket, added daphnia and all died. They are kept "outside" under a clear polycarbonate ceiling. The water was dark green like yours, it was made by adding plant based fertilizer but no salt. I don't know what could have possibly killed them, I thought it was going to be great for them... I got some pictures of the green water. Some people say "don't add too much food" could that be the cause? Can you help understand what went wrong? Thanks a lot
For search engine optimization, I think that you should add the keyword "bioreactor" to your website (and I suppose your RUclips videos too) as this is the scientific term for these devices.
I know that it's probably a trade secret but if the nutrient you sell is the commonly used one in lab settings (the "/2" one) then you might be interested to know that one study found a much better nutrient for chlorella growth in a paper titled:
"A Low-Cost Fertilizer Medium Supplemented with Urea for the Lutein Production of Chlorella sp. and the Ability of the Lutein to Protect Cells against Blue Light Irradiation"
Will add the doi of the study in a reply below for ease of access because the link might not make it through the filter and I don't want this comment to vanish.
Question: Should I get Magna or Moina to feed corys and serpea tetras in my 40g breeder? I'm not sure if Magna will be too big.
my wife wanted me to let you know that we feed our cherry shrimp yellow squash. the daphnia seem to really like it.
Hello Tony. I was trying your method by culturing green water outside in sunlight. I added daphnia in the green water tank, green water is dark green now, but I don't see daphnia multiplying, what did I do wrong?
What’s in the fertilizer or what’s it made out of?
what kind of algae is this?
Which is better at eating biofilm? Shrimp or scuds?
Do you ship to europe?
Count me in
Nice update! Are you interested in reviewing our 7-in-1 Aquarium WiFi Monitor? It can monitor PH, ORP, EC, TDS, Salinity, S.G and Temp! We're sure that you'll love it.
What name of the nutrients
Are you folks still in business? I've been trying to get in touch by the email on the website with NO luck.
