@Fragalicious - @TheJordans ?

If you don't have any luck locally, send me a PM and I will send some over.

 

[OSCAR85]

Thanks :)
Another question What do you use as fertiliser?
Ive read some info on the net about culturing and there are many different methods #confusing
Can you give a quick run down of the procedure you follow?

Like MagicJ, I'm happy to send you some if you can't find any locally.

This is how I culture Phyto and Rotifers.

Thank you :) hopefully @Fragalicious has some as they are in vic.

Just in regards to lighting, Could i use a standard desk lamp right against the bottle, if i get a warm white light ? what light do you recommend ?

Timmeh1 at masov is culturing too to sell.

Most lights will grow phyto, lower amounts of light will just take longer to grow. I don't think spectrum will matter to much, I've always used cool white (6500k), but that's only because I don't like the yellow output of warm white (3000k) bulbs.

Unfortunately we are clean out :( Waiting on the CSIRO's response to a proposal, but outside of that, we're not expecting to have any in the near future :( (The last lot we were sent by a member was DOA, so it's been a while since we last had any)

@OSCAR85 - apologies for the delay but my computer has been out of action for a while

I did a bit of a wtite-up on my process here http://thereefuge.com/threads/the-second-hatch.11185/#post-145209

If you still want some let me know.

Thank you, managed to get some locally off @timmeh1 literally like 3 kms from my house.
I split the culture with asw seems to be getter greener like fluro green but my lighting is cree 10k white.
How do i know if its still alive or crashed?

 

[MagicJ]

What SG are you using for the ASW?

The algae will drop out of the water column, and the water will go clear, if the culture crashes.

CREE 10k white is probably not ideal but it should still be OK. Most algae's grow best with more of the red spectrum - I use 6500k LED's on my setup.
