Grow phytoplankton hassle-free using the PhytoTank L System! The integrated LED light provides uniform lighting for maximal growth and obviates the need for space-consuming banks of fluorescent lights. Cultures take place in disposable culture bags and the PhytoTank`s durable rubber cap has bulkheads for disposable aeration and vent tubes, eliminating the need to extensively clean or disinfect your PhytoTank between cultures. Simply throw out the disposable items and start your next culture! With the PhytoTank, you can harvest your phyto and start a new culture in 10 minutes!
Directions for Use:
- Insert vent and aeration tubes into reactor lid
- Clean your workspace, hands, reactor lid, and tubes with rubbing alcohol
- Place one disposable culture bag into the PhytoTank, folding the bag over the threaded opening of the reactor body
- Add freshly mixed saltwater to halfway point
- Add 250 ml of starter culture (not included)
- Add 2ml of Part A and 2 ml of Part B fertilizers
- Install lid and tighten clamp
- Attach supplied air hose with in line filter, then plug in power supply (an outlet timer set to a 16 hour light / 8 hour dark cycle is recommended)
- Harvest phytoplankton after 7-10 days. Dispose of the plastic bag liner, vent, and aeration tubes.

Product Questions
Thank you for reaching out to us. The benefits using a reactor like this is to give your Chaeto an area to grow and remove phosphate and nitrate in your reef tank. Please let me know if you need anything further.
Does this come with an air pump or do I have to buy one separately?
