Hi,

I've been reading up on benefits of using live plankton (phyto & zoo) to
feed inverts, and would like to start experimenting with growing my own
cultures.
Any first-hand feedback on whether it's actually worth while?
Also, input on experiences with suppliers would be appreciated.

TIA

I've read about culturing fitoplankton in PET bottles.
The only needs is light and aerating, or should you put some food for it?

Thanks, Steve. I decided to buy a starter kit from FAF and see just
where it takes me :-)
