I hear you about running out of room. But this is one thing I make room for. As you can see, I just use a little wire rack. It needs to be next to a stable system for all of 3 weeks until I can get them off rotifers and onto a sponge filter.
My whole fish room runs at 1.020. A happy medium.

I stop rotifers at day 7 and add a sponge filter then. At day 7 they are eating NHBBS and TDO B1 at day 10. I have them at sellable size in 4 months.

If I can get this bug worked out, I'll be set. I lose 1% or less after day 1. The first 8 hours is whats troubling me.
