Feeding my tank Rotifers question

Is anyone culturing there own Rotifers? I am thinking about doing it, looks easy and great benefits from doing so. You have to remove approximately 30 percent of the Rotifers every three days, which if i do a 5 gallon tank would be about a gallon, my question is would a gallon every three days be to much for my 120 gallon tank, how often should the tank be fed? I don't want to overfeed and cause issues.
 
You are right with the harvest point. A gallon of rotifers might be to much for some peoples tank, it really depends on whats in your tank. If anything I would start off real small amounts and gradually increase until your happy with the gallon or your tank is not happy. Just keep harvesting that gallon and throw the rest in the sink of what you are not using. Your first couple of harvests though you should leave some in a bottle and they will become resting rotifers. once they are all on the bottom I would siphon them out and keep them in the frig in case your culture crashes and then you have more
