I find that white 5G buckets work really well. Also, rotifers don't need light, you can save a little $ by not lighting them. http://www.fishtalpropagations.com/#!home/mainPage "Making captive breeding easier."   #3 rgrking Total Posts : 712 Reward points : 446 Joined: 4/8/2011 Location: Sullivan, MO, US Status: offline MBI: 305 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Aquarium Societies of North America Re:Culture Journal, Species: Brachionus plicatilis Wednesday, October 19, 2011 2:33 PM (permalink)   video coming soon.
