    I am new to culturing rotifers. I recently had a phtyo crash of my phytoplankton cultures. So I picked up some phyto feast to substitute feeding the rotifers until I reestablish my phtyo cultures.
    My question is how much do I feed of the phyto feast? I am use to keeping the water light green with my phyto but I have read phyto feast is really "dense".. I have 5 gallon bucket full of rotifers.. any suggestions?

    I would shoot for the same water coloration as you've had success with in the past. It's more concentrated in the bottle, but when you dilute it out into your rotifer culture, it should turn out about the same as what you're used to using.
