Well,a lucky finding.Rhodomonas is a very good alga,although a bit touchy to culture.Some,like R baltica can´t take over 20ºC.
FAF f/2 must be kept refrigerated because of the vitamins it contains.
But I keep the thio solution not refrigerated.Over time some mold/bacteriae develops but it keeps unaffected,as you can tell by the smell.
