Starting a new culture

[crazypete00]

Hi,

after a bit of advice.

Thinking of starting a new rotifers/copepods culture. If i bought the 500ml of the mix, and added 2/3 fresh saltwater then just added phyto-feast or roti-rich every day, would that be ok?

Also will the 53 micron strainer be ok for pods and rotifers? or can you suggest a better one?

and do they need to be kept at a steady temp?

Sorry for all the questions

Hi CrazyPete

No worries for the questions. You're on the right track with the basic setup and feeding; Roti-rich is 1-2 drops per litre culture per day another effective food for for the pods is the Dry Invert Feed made into a solution.

Temp-wise aim for min of 15 deg C and a max below 28 deg C - a good range will be 20-24 deg C.
