SRC Member bawater Posted December 10, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted December 10, 2004 for 1 month, yes they will die. but for 1 week is fine, to be safe -harvest the culture the day before u go,(this will be fine for 4days on its own)+ 3days more of starvation. i usually don't worry abt going away for 5 or 6 days. Keep a portion in a bottle in the fridge. And if u really want, keep another bottle on the shelf next to the running culture. So u get 3 chances to find at least 1 rotifer alive. The thing is- the more you spread live cultures around between reefers, the easier it is to get starter cultures. If u keep a bottle in the fridge(abt 6-8c)- these are the survival rates: 1-4 days 95% 4/7 days 85% 10 days 50% 14 days 30% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member marinebetta Posted September 4, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted September 4, 2005 can we use those paper-type disposable coffee filter bag. not too sure the filter spec. thanx should work....altho it can get a bit messy. The plastic ones some people use for BBS can work but you might loose some of the smaller rotifers - used it once when I couldn't find my 53 micron mesh...

keithtanbb Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 get the plastic coffee filter from cold storage, brown rim, white filter, good enough, It will help of u use a sewing machine to stitch another time through, I was using this. go my rotifers culture from LFS ......feed them with yeast, and a little plankton. You can usually find the filters at the baking,section in the supermarket/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
