We are what’re you wondering about?

I'll shoot you a pm.....

Used to but got lazy and tired of the upkeep

Is it that bad already have scheduling issues cause of work. Never home during the day unless im sleeping. Trying to monitor a tank and how things are going at night has been super hard. Working overnights but hopefully only for a few more weeks.

No, it’s not that bad. I manage ours and it takes me about an hour every other Sunday (or so). I’ve gone 3 weeks before and they’ve still lived.

Heck, my mom keeps one of her cultures outside. Looks like pond water. It actually froze. She brought it inside, let it thaw, and they’re still kicking.

Not all that bad. The pods themselves are pretty low maintenance, but their food is a bit more work. Keeping phyto cultures running isnt particularly hard but you do need to split them every 1-2 weeks and then you need to clean and sterilize all their containers and tools.
