SRC Member comycus Posted January 4, 2010 SRC Member Share Posted January 4, 2010 Have to maintain water quality... my attempt to culture them failed coz water quality deteriorated. A linked refugium to the main tank would be better than a stand alone like what I tried. Quote My old 3ft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member comycus Posted January 4, 2010 SRC Member Share Posted January 4, 2010 your tub of pods wiped? yup, they all died at the same time, prob ammonia spike... lucky I only tried culturing ~30% of the bottle... otherwise $$ down the drain...

SRC Supporter ReDDeviLs Posted January 4, 2010 SRC Supporter Share Posted January 4, 2010 seems like the instruction from the web did not state clearly in terms on water condition? then again,if we can have our own tigger pods it wil be something special.

Ya, they didnt really mention water condition other than the fact that New Seawater must be used.. Quote Member of: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just for reference, I followed the instructions of culturing in a standalone container to the dot.

Quite a number of people there have sucessfully cultivated pods in stand alone containers.

Terryz_ Posted January 5, 2010 Author Share Posted January 5, 2010 Its seems like the DT Pods might be easier to culture as they are warm water species.. Quote Member of: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FuEl Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 I get loads of pods daily from siphoning the algae detritus from my fibreglass tub. I literally have thousands of copepods, most of which end up being flushed. If anyone wishes to separate the algae detritus from the copepods you are more than welcome.

kanegan Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Hi Fuel, Can't you use your pods to feed the babies you are breeding? Isn't that the point of breeding pods? I would love to have some pods in my tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuEl Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 I'll be giving away some of my "miracle gunk". It's skimmate coloured water but it does'nt stink. Filled with hundreds or even thousands of copepods smaller than the size of baby brine shrimp. You just need to decant it to get the copepods. Who's interested?
