agar disk/starter culture

[pisces]

Hi,

Can anyone help me to name a few places where agar disk/starter cultures can be bought and how much is the cost ?

Thanks

from our sponser EAN.

And whats the cost ? I am asking the cost coz I wanna calculate the approx difference in buying the ready plankton and culturing. No point in going through all the effort if culturing is only saving me a few $$.

[nicholasloh]

depends on the disk... dun forget lighting cost too.

An Nano disk cost $24 at Reb***.

I have been thinking. It is not possible to start a culture using DT because it is not concentrated enough. Since Aquaz is very concentrated, is it possible to start a culture with it?

thanks Jesper/Nicholas/dradttg

Lightings ok.I guess the phyto's dont need T5's for cultivation. My FL should do.

Nicholas, do you sell the disk or just the readymade plankton ?

What's Aquaz ? I thot Aquaz made T5 lamps ?

u can make ur own agar disk... it's just normal agar but don't add in any sugar..

[pisces]

Pardon my ignorance....but Does the mean that you take a part of the agar disk and put it in the water to start the culture ?
