I am just finishing my larval rearing system. One of the things I decided to try this time was a way to grow rotifers sold my Reed Mariculture/APBreed. Compact Culture Systemâ„¢ (CCS) | APBreedâ„¢ – Hatchery Solutions for Aquarists, Propagators and Breeders
I paid for the first one and ordered extra Rotifer Floss. I then built a second one. I would recommend if you DUI that you still use the floss.
Here is the Culture Kit from Reed Mariculture/APBreed
Just the aeration and filter piece:
With clips mounted in the bucket:
MY DYI replacement:
I then built a screen to fit over the bottom out of size 5 mesh screen from a fabric store. I stitched it together with zip ties and clamped it onto the hanger.
Here they are side by side:
My advice is to buy the Rotifer floss as it was developed for this type of application and everyone I have read about thinks it works very well.
