Hope this helps  |
Randy,
Can you give more details on the simulated tidepool approach? I currently culture tigriopus copepods in a 5 gallon bucket with roti's and feed nanno paste daily. The results are ho-hum.
So..
culture container - 9"x13" glass pan
Temperature - ambient room?
Salinity - 35ppt work?
Lighting - Indirect ambient room light?
Circulation - Rigid tubing (1,2 - bubble count?)
Food - (If phytopheast - then wouldn't some of the algae be wasted since they prefer dynoflagellate's?) (maybe a Iso paste?)
Any other tips to help along a culture?
Thanks Randy!
btw great conversation, good to have Randy and John giving input here!
