| Feeding Tactics/Medium: |
Now I use 1-2 ml of RGcomplete or a mix of RG+, 1 part, plus 6 parts Nrich and an equivalent volume of 16 teaspoons chloramX/1 liter water. This is added twice a day. Once a day a gallon is dipped out of each bucket and and a gallon of 20ppt saltwater is added, room temperature all.

| Split Cycle: |
Once a day a gallon is dipped out of each bucket and and a gallon of 20ppt saltwater is added, room temperature all.
|
| Split Yield: |
i've never consistently counted, but the rotifers easily replace what is taken out each day. What is taken out is more than enough to raise a nest of clownfish.
|
| Number of Cultures: |
at least 2 at any given time
|
| Number of Splits:< |
daily, so more than 90...
|
| Density: |
now about 50 rots per ml
|
| Harvest Methodology: |
filter through a 53 micron filter, and enriched or used as larval/aiptasia feed directly , depending on time of last rotifer feeding
|
| Adjustments Made: |
Initially I was trying a drip system but gave up when it seemed too much work. Actually, I think the rotifers are more numerous with the twice a day dump of food and the daily removal of 25% of culture with replacement of saltwater, dumped in. Called the Dump method.
