Hi,

newbie to saltwater hobby, Im planning to have my own culture phytoplankton so i can feed my corals well.
Someone kindly please give me idea how and where can i buy culture kit,if any.

Additional..Can be possibly procured in local?

You can ask aarongo for phyto culture. you just need a good aerator, bubble controller, fertilizer and the phyto of your choice. and of course culture bottles that are very clean and saltmix. never use natural sea water for a culture. there are also other people who sells culture here lets just wait for them to answer.

Check this facebook. Nagbebenta yan ng cultures then bili ka na rin ng fertilizer sa kanya.

Things you'll need:
1. CLEAN empty bottle mga 1.5L Coke bottle maganda na yun.
2. drill 2 holes at the bottle cap.
1st hole should be at the middle (air input)
2nd hole should be beside it (air output)
3. Rigid tubing para straight yung pag bubbles. nag try rin ako ng air stone at airhose lang pero medyo hirap ako pero yung nag rigid tube ako mas okay yung results.
4. fertilizers (nitrate source = FOOD nila)
5. lighting, bumili lang ako sa hardware ng 6500k light na 21w firefly tapos tinutok ko lang directly sa gitna ng bottle
6. Air pump & Air stone
7. Freshly made saltwater from SALTMIX. any brand ok naman as long as yung kilalang brand bilhin at yung nakakabuhay ng isda and corals.

How to start?
pag bumili ka dun sa link na binigay ko, fill 20% of the bottle with phyto then the rest with saltwater. itabi mo yung iba sa ref para pag pumalpak yung gawa mo linis bote tapos retry it. I've tried 20ml per 1.5Liters at nabuhay ko. it just takes about 3-4 weeks dhl ang kunti ng nilagay ko hahaha. dont forget to shake yung nasa ref mo para d mamatay tps ismell mo rin pag mabaho na ptay na un.
