The following post is simply a place for me to get thoughts into the physical world and to compile information found from multiple places into one. This post is a work in progress.
Items Needed:
Equipment needed:
- 5 gal bucket or water jug
- Air Pump
- 1/4" tubing for air with valve
- 1/4" tubing for drain with valve
- 1/2" or 3/4" tubing for feeding with valve
- 1/2" or 3/4" tubing for dispensing brine with valve
- heater
- thermometer
Environmental requirements:
- Salinity - 1.020
- Water temperature - 80*F
- Lighting - ambient (direct light attracts them making them less likely to breed)
- Water Changes - weekly 25%
Thoughts:
The jug will be of similar design as the phytoplankton. Tubing will vary depending on the behavior of the contents. Hatched eggs float. Unhatched eggs sink to bottom. Brine tend to congregate at surface, too.
