Methodologies
Feeding Tactics/Medium:	I alternate between feeding Tet and ground up flake food. Typically feed every 2-3 days. Tet is enough to lightly tint the water. Flake food is probably .5 square inches of flake.
Split Cycle:	I split these when the population seems large and not noticeably increasing. Guestimate of 2000+ copepods.
Split Yield:	For ramp up I poured 50% into new culture and refilled both with sterilized ASW.
Number of Cultures:	3
Number of Splits:	5
Density:	Not counted
Harvest Methology:	Sieve through 23micron filter.
Adjustments Made:	None so far
