Harvest Methology: |
I scoop out three quarts every couple days and drain it through a filter to harvest. I syphon most of the culture out of the bucket leaving the bottom debree and put in a clean bucket every couple weeks. |
Adjustments Made: |
The only thing that has changed in the care of the rotifers is the temp. My culture is in the basement and was started in the spring/ early summer so the temp started around 65f and is now down to about 55f. This has noticeably reduced the rotifers numbers but they still are harvested a couple times a week. |
