Check out the FAQs page on my site there is something there that will give detailed instructions on growing photo, look for the greenwater FAQ!

Two links http://www.scientificamerican.com/20...0800amsci.html gives some general info including the 2 liter soda bottle culture method.
http://www.nethawaii.com/~kraul/plankton.html gives some real low tech hints such as using miracid for nutrients. Might want to add some liquid B complex vitamins to the culture solution since algae can't make this nutrient according to THE PLANKTON CULTURE MANUAL by Frank Hoff. Florida Aqua Farm has seperate website from aquaculture supply company now.
