I've been neglecting my culture, (got wrists splapped) I've been feeding once a day and had the culture going since Sept. 26th and have not added any claram-X, nor have done any harvesting or water changes. I did however take the culture out and clean the jars and replace the culture. Today I will be good and do some work, and harvest 1/5 of it and feed my copepods and test the ammonia and see where they are at, and add some Cloram-X.
