Probably my favorite trend in reefing, I hope this one sticks around past just being a renewed trend. I personally have Tetraselmis & Tisochrysis in my home culture set-up, and I love the three primary strains they've chosen to sell to hobbyist's. With so many phyto strains in existence, a difficult supply chain to maneuver, and a large body of mixed anecdotal commentary by hobbyist's to sift through: figuring out if/what phyto to grow and dose can be an uphill slog. Mr. Pleskun has done the leg work for us. Tetraselmis, Tisochrysis, & Rhodomonas are far from exhaustive. But, they are three extremely useful and complementary strains common to commercial applications like pod & bivalve operations, and they continually show up in discussion in home culture (which has a very limited scale & labor pool). Most of us only have the motivation to culture one or two of these long-term as a hobby, so cherry picking these three should go along way. I will say, if you want to keep it at home. It becomes almost a second facet of reefing, with it's own minor work flow. And there's a certain satisfaction that comes from seeing my multicolored jars bubbling away on my indoor plant shelf intermixed with a host of understory tropical hose plants. Then when you feed the coral, you know what's in the bottle. And that confidences comes from transparence on the part of vendors like TSA. I case you missed it, I'm a fan of what they're doing. :) Plus, when I inevitably screw up and loose a culture. TSA has the strains I want to restock.

You could culture at home but it's got some work associated with it. Definitely cheaper and more consistent when you can culture yourself but it's always available if you need to purchase as well! When you culture rotifers you have to harvest daily - I'd always just feed my tanks with them. There's nothing like live feed! ~Remy

Give another couple watches...it'll settle in. At its core, coral can and will benefit more from live feeds like phyto and rotifers. It's a lot but it makes sense! ~Remy
