Hi,

 

I use miracle grow instead of the usually prescribed phytoPlankton fertilizer f/2. My Phytoplankton grows in to dense dark green within a week, and my rotifers love it. I have read however, that feeding a different fertilizer to your phytoplankton alters there nutrional value in such a way as to kill small fry, is this bunk created to sell F/2? are there trace mineral or nutrients that my phytoplankton are not getting by being on miracle grow?

Lots of people use miracle grow. Personally I have been using a 2 part that is made by Kent. The only place that sells it is aquaticeco.com (aquatic ecosystems). It is not expensive- a 16 oz bottle of each (makes 32 oz of media) for under $15 last time I bought it. I only make up about 100mls at a time and that lasts several months. They reason that the shelf life is longer keeping the viatmins and salts seperate. Definately vitamins in it- so there is more than a standard bottle of miracle grow.
