What does the formula contain?

The formula contains a mixture of vitamins and minerals to supply nutrients for maximum growth.

What is the benefit of using f/2 algae food?

Used as directed, f/2 algae food allows fast growth rate and high cell densities to be achieved.

What is the origin of the product?

The country of origin is United States.

Is this good for chaetomorpha sp. and other brackish water microalgae?

I use it to grow Nanochloropsis in brackish water. I add 1/2 strength "Instant Ocean" salt to the final mix. I also add sodium bicarbonate and sodium carbonate to improve growth. Works well.

Can you mix part A and part B together in one container and store? Or do you have to keep both parts seperate?

Keep em separate until you are actually using them or it forms a weird sludge.

Does this work for growing bioluminescent dinoflagellates?

Along with Part B to make the F/2 formula, yes it should help feed them.

Adding the 5ml of both parts to 10 gal of water, does that make ready to use water? or just the f2 that I then does my water with?

I am dosing fresh made saltwater at 5ml per 10 gallons of a and b and then growing phytoplankton in that water. Hope that helps.

Will this feed Marimo Moss Balls, too? or is that a different kind of algae?

Surprisingly, it should! I used this for a research experiment for a high school project, and as I was doing my research, an f/2 media solution should have the ability to work for all algae and phytoplankton cultures due to its high availability in nutrients. Some species require more or less of a given nutrient in this particular product, but the concentration contents in here work should still work perfectly for any form of algae or phytoplankton, even if they’re marine or fresh water species.

Fritz Aquatics PRO - F2 Algae Food PTA- 1 Gallon 84200

The Fritz Aquatics Pro F2 Algae Food Part A is a nutrient-rich formula that can be used to grow a range of microalgae. It can be mixed with Part B to create the F/2 formula for feeding bioluminescent dinoflagellates and other species. Customers have used it to successfully grow Nanochloropsis in brackish water and Tisochrysis lutea. However, customers did have difficulty with mixing Part A and Part B together as it produced an unsightly sediment which made it difficult to optimally use the product. There were no instructions on the product label on how often to use it so customers had to guess how often to use it to feed their algae. Overall, the Fritz Aquatics Pro F2 Algae Food Part A is effective for growing algae but could be improved with clearer instructions on use and better guidance on how to mix the two parts together.

Pros

Effective for growing a range of microalgae
Can be used to feed different species including bioluminescent dinoflagellates
Nutrient-rich formula that algae, plants, and shrimp thrive on
Can be used to feed Marimo Moss Balls

Cons

Mixing Part A and Part B can produce an unsightly sediment
No instructions on the product label on how often to use it
Difficulty in guessing how often to use it to feed algae
