Copepod-Phyto-Rotifer cultures?

[billsreef]

The two tricks to phyto, keep everything very clean and sanitized, and split early and often Most cultures will hit peak around 1 week and can be harvested 50% daily when at their peak. Once they peak they typically only last another week or two, so start a new culture as soon as the first one peaks.
