What do you think make this successful compared to the traditional method? Is the size of the container or the colder water temperatures? I want to replicate it but indoor, as I have no garden/balcony. Not sure if it works though, I tried with 2g jars and somehow they don't last long there. I fed them fresh nanno and kept some airline. My guess would be that with smaller containers it's much easier to overfeed or kill them with the remaining F/2 from the phyto.
In case I think I would need some light for growing the photosynthetic stuff inside?
Never cultivated them indoors.
I have never tried to breed podsinside so I can only guess. Started out as a little experiment and was a success during the summer months here in the UK.What do you think make this successful compared to the traditional method?

I believe the pods need to be kept warm for them to breed I would guess between say 18c and 28c but don't hold me to that.
Being outside they have plenty of oxygen in the air and less CO2 if they were indoors.
Natural sunlight allows the phyto to multiply and keep the pods in food.
A large container than is usually used indoors so more stable maybe.
The phyto helps filter the water naturally.
