Possible? Quote I gotta feeling..Woo...hoo....That tonight's gonna be a good night.....That tonight's gonna be a good, good night! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuEl Posted January 1, 2005 Share Posted January 1, 2005 Seems possible. Just use a pure strain culture for initial innoculation and make sure you have enough phosphates and other necessary nutrients in the water to fuel their growth?
