Other Details
Other Information:	This is my second attempt at culturing phytoplankton. My first attempt failed due to rotifer contamination. Since the first attempt, I have moved the culturing one floor up from the rotifers, use tools specifically for phyto only and don't go near the phyto if I have been in the same vicinity as my fishroom/rotifer cultures. My new culture is only 4 days old and it has already started to green up nicely.
