I am subscribed to Coral e-magazine since for a ling time. It covers many articles on many issues. Can you please publish articles on phytoplankton and rotifer culture ? How to culture them and feed as first food to fry. If you have already published this in your previous issues (which you may have already) then please guide me to them. Keep up your good work. vispi.Karen Stuczynski says:
This sounds very cool! But...Seems a bit pricey at at at $1000 plus $420 a year. I know keeping the tank pristine is the goal....does it really need to monitor every 15 minutes....can you have it test say 2 times a day and stretch out those discs longer? not everyone is made of money, Don't get me wrong i do not usually skimp on my tank but this IS still out of my price range.Wishing it be more cost effective. Until then i guess I just keep testing manually.guy jorion says:
