Hello all...
I have made a rack/workstation for culturing Phytoplankton..
It looks like the one from Florida Aqua Farms,
https://3kserver7.com/~frank/secure/agora.cgi?cart_id=5707927.14754*zI30w4&product=PLANKTON_SYSTEMS
(the second one down, the 'TWO-SIDED' model)
Of course I changed it around a little to avoid any patent issues??? hehehe
anyways, i will take some pics tomorro, as it is dark, and the paint is drying..
I also need to buy one more 90 elbow, as I broke one while cutting the corner off it..
I am also using a single tube fixture for lighting..
I want to put some type of reflector on this so I can minimize the amount of light that is blasing all ovr the place. I was thinking of having the light onthe bottom, with teh bulb pointing upwards. and then using a reflecto, like a batwind, or otehr gull wing configuion, the reflector would look like it is inthe middle, with the shiny side down, and it would look like it is resting between the row of bottles, it might not be the best reflector but it woudl catch the light and kind of angle it back down or to the sides instead of coming straight up...
Anways, I will have pics tomorrow, but, I wont have enough bottles, as I dont really drink a lot of soda around my hous...
I also orderd some stuff from FAF, some starter batches, and some parts and a 'carboy' to start culturing brine shrimp...
I did this before but, I was using the cheap toy hatchery... this next one is a 5 gallon jug, that is almost plug and play... whoo hooo...
I need to see how to decap bbs eggs, so I can maximize my chances of a good batch..
thanks
