DIY Larvae feeding station completed today

[Avalanche Wolf]

Took me two days to build and about a week to come up with the complete concept but another vital piece to the breeding process has been finished.

Total cost of the build was around $80 ( got the light hood on closeout discount at Lowe's) the only thing not bought was the two air pumps. Very happy the way it turned out. Once the water heats up to temp I will start with a small run of brine and ordered my culture of green and rotos today.

Just wanted to share

Looks nice; a very clean setup!
What kind of larvae are you planning on raising?

I have already started a feeding conditioning routine with them and it is looking like they are getting close per their behavior.

The cultures should be here by mid week and i need to get the larval tank up and running the begining of this week.

I ordered the cultures from Florida Aqua Farms.

Just be sure that your rotifer cultures are far away from your phyto so you don't contaminate the phyto.

Good luck!

Good tip! I did that several times before switching to algae pastes

I would suggest waiting to set-up the larval tank until you are ready to put larvae into it. I typically don't add water to the larval tank until the night of hatch.

You going to the swap on Sat?! Drop by the Critter/SA table if you want to talk fish a bit!
