Remember that you can pretty safely double the water volume of that O. marina culture every twelve hours without issue. You could have that 2L full by tomorrow and be starting your second culture.

Here's a video zoomed in as much as I can do. I also have another video but it didn't upload in time for me to go to work. I'll get it up tomorrow.This one shows the O. marina and the other one shows the pods eating them. It's pretty cool
