Hiya

I just bought a bottle of Seachem Reef Phytoplankton, was wondering is it possible to culture more of it. Or it wouldn't be possible since it's doesn't seem like live phyto. The one I bought is in the link below, many thanks in advance.

That stuff is dead and preserved and pretty much junk. You cannot start a culture from it.

Easies way is just get a culture disk from Florida aqua farms

I have made over 100 gallons of dense phyto all started from one 14 dollar disk

Does that disk come with full instructions?
Also can I start a 2 liter container with that one disk?

Essentials are still there and preserved just not live. Same benefits of live. Just a personal choice.
