Dense number of pods in the bottle and the phyto was concentrated as well!! Very pleased with my purchase, could see the pods active before setting them loose in the refugium. Would happily order again.
This culture has been really fun! Dosing silicate water was very interesting, the precipitation was intense, I’d never used it before. Thalassiosira weissfloggii is really easy to grow and most importantly, my pods and brine LOVE IT. My pods get extremely active when I feed, it’s really cool seeing copepods get excited. I tried growing t-iso and had a contamination issue on my end, so wanted a less finicky species that still has all the good fats and this seems to fit my needs perfectly! I’ve already split my culture once and it’s bubbling along happily turning a nice golden brown.
