Day 7.. 8:30am. I think this will be my last day posting this Phytoplankton /copepods project. 7 days into this cool project. I've now learned to be patient..πŸ€­πŸ€­πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ it's like the hardest thing to be, right.. but I like to thank everyone who left comments and inspired me to keep going. I like our saltwater community here. So I will harvest my fist dose of phytoplankton on Sunday to pour into my display tank. As For the copepods I'll have to wait a little longer. There are still babies, not ready yet. If I can do this, so can you. Not that hard. Just be vigilant with it. And patience is key. Thanks everybody.πŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ƒ

Love seeing your updates on this project! Growing phyto and pods at home is such a game changer for the tank and honestly it feels so rewarding when you finally get to dose your own culture. Patience definitely pays off here.

Very awesome bro. My kit from Reef with Steele is set to be delivered on Saturday. I’ll see how it goes.

I’m keeping my eye on your pod situation. With my plankton kit, I had them include 16 ounces of a blended copepod culture. I’m just gonna use it to dose the tank and hopefully they’ll be able to multiply by eating the plankton I will be putting in the tank soon. I usually dose About 50-50 half in my tank half in my refugium in with my Chaeto. οΏΌ
