Anyone culturing large amounts of phyto regulary around San Jose? Would prefer to buy it before I restart my phyto cultures.

I use about a gallon every two weeks.

I've been buying from Top Shelf Aquatics so someone local would be sweet.

There are a few local people honestly. Though I would urge caution in getting it from random people. I recall a post recently someone got phyto from a random local guy selling it and there was allegedly a tank crash due to a bad batch.

Nathan I can vouch for because he actually knows and understands the science behind all this stuff. He also has a pretty full product line.

He's definitely not some random guy with extra space in his garage who saw a few videos and thought he could make a few bucks all the while being one or two utube videos ahead of me and you in knowledge.

Not intended to bash anyone. Just saying good idea to know the background of who your getting stuff from. Their qualifications and experience that is.

Hey sorry I always forget to check the site. If you’re needing phyto I do sell by the gallon if you haven’t gotten any already
