How to Grow Copepods

How do you grow Pods?


Do be a fraid to grow copepods. They are safe and fun for the whole family. C’mon they can’t be any worse than video games…
........
Water changes:
Every week we recommend changing out the water. Collect the entire culture on a 55 um screen. It is best to place the screen in a container so that the screen is sitting in liquid-which prevents the copepods from drying out on the screen. Clean the container by wiping it with a paper towel and rinsing with freshwater. Refill the container with new saltwater, add algae and then add your pod culture.
Harvest:
When you reach greater than 1/mL begin harvesting. It is possible to keep cultures at greater densities but they will not perform as well if you do. Harvesting can be as simple as scooping the pods out of your container with a cup and adding them directly to your reef tank. Refill what you have taken out with fresh saltwater and algae/phytoplankton if necessary.

Great Info....
a couple questions, as this sounds fun.
So for the waterchanges, its a 100 pct newly mixed water with phytoplankton to tea color (not tank water due to contaminants mentioned)?

Would removing 1/3 of the water to add to the tank, work to maintain the water changes?

If not where would be a common supply location where a 55 um screen would be found?

These would be the same pods found at Sea In the city? Or Reefers Direct?

Gota try. first steps towards breeding.

The clean part as well as the water change is one of the most important parts of this!
