PhytoStart - Culture preparation for Phytoplankton Nannochloropsis salina. Preparation of the plankton culture: Please put the culture preparation into the reactor and fill up same with the equal quantity of salt water. Then please add the recommended quantity of PhytoFood. The reactor filling will show the initial colour after 1 - 2 days. Please double the filling quantity with salt water and the corresponding quantity of PhytoFood and wait for a few days until the culture has grown again. Please repeat this procedure until the reactor is completely filled.

As soon as you have a good growing Photoplankton culture, you should store a small quantity in a tightly closed container which you put into the refrigerator. From this portion you can prepare a new one in case of a breakdown of the reactor culture. A regular withdrawal of plankton and refilling of the nutrient solution extends the standing time of the culture.
