Green Water Starter Kit Instructions

Nurture your aquatic ecosystem with our Green Water Starter Kit, designed for baby fish, snails, shrimp, and algae-eating species. This kit makes cultivating live green water (phytoplankton) easy and effective, providing a nutritious, natural food source for your aquatic pets.

What’s Included:

• 13 oz Thick Phytoplankton Culture: A robust, live starter culture for rapid green water growth.

• 10 ml Liquid Algae Fertilizer: Precisely formulated to fuel your phytoplankton for maximum yield.

• Syringe: For accurate dosing and easy maintenance.

Step 1: Prepare the Container

1. Choose a clean, clear container or jar (1-2 gallons is ideal).

2. Fill it with dechlorinated water (tap water treated with a dechlorinator or pre-aged water works best).

Step 2: Add the Culture

1. Gently shake the 13 oz culture bottle to mix thoroughly.

2. Pour the entire culture into the prepared container.

Step 3: Add Fertilizer

1. Use the syringe to measure 2 ml of fertilizer and add it to the container.

2. Stir gently to distribute the nutrients evenly.

Step 4: Provide Light

1. Place the container in a location with indirect sunlight or under a grow light (6–8 hours of light per day).

2. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent overheating.

Step 5: Aerate the Culture (Optional but recommended)

1. Use an aquarium air pump and airline tubing to gently aerate the culture. This prevents stagnation and encourages even growth.

Step 6: Monitor and Harvest

1. Within 3–5 days, your water will turn a vibrant green, indicating healthy phytoplankton growth.

2. Use the syringe to harvest small amounts as needed for feeding.

Maintenance Tips:

• Replenish: After each harvest, top off the container with fresh dechlorinated water and add 0.5 ml of fertilizer per gallon to maintain growth.

• Stir/Aerate: Gently stir the culture daily if not using aeration.

• Replace Culture: Every 2–3 months, refresh with a new starter culture for best results.
