Nannochloropsis occulata culture

I don't mind driving out your way besides I would really like to check your coral greenhouse sometime...

I'm going to have a tank wetting/frag swap meeting/braai before the end of summer. That'll be a better time for me for a visit. I'll bring the thio to the office.
 
The way these cultures are going I could sell these cultures by the liter, man they grow multiply quickly. I'm ready to split both 2L coke bottles as they are dark green already. MMMMM maybe I should make my money back, how much should one sell a liter culture for or should I sell it in 100ml or 500ml?
 
Ok I'm going to try a little experiment with 2 cultures. I have 1L backup in fridge & have 2 cultures running in 2x 2L coke bottles with sg 0.017, culture 1 using 1ml/2L food from florida farms as per normal & culture 2 is a gamble as I'm using 1ml worm tea (fertilizer from worm compost bin). When I normally use the worm tea I have to dilute it 1prt worm tea/10L water other wise the fertilizer burns the plant. Since using this in conjunction with the worm compost my chillies seem to be much stronger & flower all year round.
I hope that 1ml is not too much food & holding thumbs that it works.
 
any updates?

how long do the last inthe fridge?
 
@ dallasg, weeks, just shake the bottle occasionally. It is best to change the back up when you split though.

@ MistaOrange
Did the worm tea work, if not Chrysal Bonsai plant food works if you cannot get F2, just use the same dosage as F2.

Sorry for not updating just been busy.

I still have lots of food that Jens gave me from Florida farms. I'll Look around for F2 tomorrow as I'm off for the weekend about time.
As for the worm tea I thought that I'll feed the worms more juicy foods to produce stronger worm tea(well in theory that is) as I've been feeding alot of dry goodies lately then I'll retry the worm tea again. ;)
