Some more maintenance notes. This evening I've simply thrown away 2 gallons of the culture water, plus took out an additional 3 gallons which were seived for their rotifers. So the tank was brought down to just under 5 gallons of water again. 10 basters of phytoplankton went in (all types) and I'm currently doing a slow trickle of freshly mixed water into the tank.
I checked the salinity of the larval tank and found it to be a bit high, around 1.025, so the new water going in is 1.020.
The 3 gallons worth of rotifers I'm going to leave for selcon enrichment overnight...we'll see what they look like come morning. It sounds like I have as long as another week before I need to start thinking about hatching brine for these little buggers.
