Well, so far these are still going along just fine.  Really has been  a pretty sloppy contiuation, but they seem very durable.  I have been feeding mostly Reeds RG to them (2x a day...1ml worth at each feeding), with an occasional t-iso without issue.  We may miss a few days here and there but they always seem to bounce back very readily.
 
Been using 1 2.5 bucket with a flow through.  So I add 1 quart, 2x a day to the bucket of freshly prepared salt water.  This flows through to my Apocyclops panamensis to feed them. 
 
I have been cleaning the buckets about once every 4-6 weeks.  I have had two infestations of Apocyclops panamensis which was easily solved by seiving.
