I was wondering how to culture phytoplankton, if its possible.
Where can i get some to start with? will the refrigerated stuff work to start with?

Go to the search page here on RC and do a search on phytoplankton culture or growing phytoplankton.

There are a number of very good threads around.

Good luck.

Check this article, http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2002-07/ds/index.htm

If you can share the start up costs with other local reefers it's really cheap.
