🔥 How to Culture Copepods - • How to Culture Copepods
In this episode I will show you How to make Phytoplankton. Phytoplankton is easy to culture and can be done with a few items you have around your house. Phytoplankton is food for copepods such as tisbe pods, tiger pods, rotifers, mysid and even used to protect clownfish fry when breeding clownfish. Phytoplankton is a live food at the base of the food chain right above zoo plankton. It only takes 5 days to culture phytoplankton and very little effort on your part. Phytoplankton can be dosed in small amounts to your saltwater aquarium to promote the growth of corals and microfauna. Be careful not to add to much as phytoplankton is very high in nutrients such as nitrate or NO3 and phosphate or PO4. Typically I would only add 5-10 ml daily to a 100 gallon reef aquarium for best results.
