HI - the foam I used as a plug has melted into the vinegar - obvs some new form of packing - not Styrofoam/polystyrene here...have I killed the culture? I have removed it and hoped not as I have been to too many funerals lately !?

search amazon, the brand is something like "Inkbird." I have used this exact one for years, both for cooling applications like this, and for heating applications like making tempeh and yogurt. Can confirm they are reliable , accurate and easy to use, if you understand basic wiring. If you're controlling a line voltage appliance like the micro fridge in the video, you need to know what you're doing a little bit or you could burn your house down or hurt or kill yourself, so be wise. Get help if you're not confident! Having said that, my setup is coincidentally almost identical to the one in the video, I actually laughed. The fridge draws well under the 10 amps that this thing is rated for(1.8 I think.)

HELP! I used to culture these successfully all year long, then 1 summer they stopped reproducing because it got hot, and then the culture started to get filled with clouds of mold for every tiny little piece of food I'd add in... so I started a new culture with new substrate and added some worms over... for a week they did great and were growing fast... then the mold started again and now I'm back to having problems... if I add ANY amount of food, within a few hours the entire bin gets completely covered in mold... and it looks like cotton candy... we're talking a 3" poof of mold sitting on top of the entire culture...

Hello there are vent holes in the lid of the container. And if the culture gets old you can see mites or gnats. Just like with other cultures you need to make new cultures as they age. The soil will go bad over time. Just take a chunk of the old culture and put it in a new soil culture and start fresh or gather some worms and rinse them in clean fresh water then add them to the new culture.

Hi there! I have been culturing these little guys for a few months and recently split my first pair of cultures into several more. However, 2 of my new cultures have produced a white film on the top, which I fear is keeping the eels from getting air. I have skimmed it off but it keeps growing back. What is this and how do I get rid of it without just dumping the cultures and starting over?
@jaket9533
@jaket9533 4 жыл бұрын
Etienne Crowe did the white film happen right away or did it take a few days? Sometimes a film on top can be from a huge amount of vinegar eels. They do go to the surface. I’ve actually had some that had such a high population that they climbed the sides of the glass about half an inch.

Use mash potato instead of kibbles. Use 4 to 5 pads instead of just 1 layer. Kind of making a filtering system. Wash out the bottom one with some tank water about every 2 months. Also worms going up the sides of the container typically means the conditions aren't so desirable.

Some people have nightmares with fly’s, others mites, I always have to fight mites, doesn’t matter what I do I get them, pain in the bum, I’ve just had to accept the fact, I spent quite a bit a while back on different cultures from people some were horrific, odd one was good,. What I have to do is every time I see a bunch of mites together on the culture I just squash them. I often find small areas clear of worms and a bunch of mites there. Hate the things. I wish there was a product I could use that would kill the mites but not the worms. Drowning the culture just clears the initial ones. But there back within days, I’ve kept them in a really clean area, microwaved soil to kill anything. Everything possible. I’ve tried pads but progress was really slow compared to soil. I find cat food works the best in breeding them, but of course mites love that stuff, I don’t even leave the food in long. Crazy.

Philthy Tanks depends on what “room temp” is. They tend to do best around 60°F but can definitely survive up into the 70° area. You might see a reduction in population at higher temperatures. Hope that helps.
