The cultures arived with very active pods. After a few days, the activity level dropped quite a bit. I would say that the two buckets I started were each start with roughly 100 pods. Thus far, I have been feeding the culture o. marina. Initially I was adding small amounts of RG+ while the o marina cultures ramped up. The population stayed stable. Five days ago I started feeding 1 (sometimes 2x a day) quart of the o marina culture into the apocyclops daily. Today was the first day I started to noticed a much more activity and the population count appears to be rising. Still very small density. I have also been adding a very small amount of flake to the cultures every few days.

culture still running fine. This has been setup the same way pretty much the entire way with little issue. 2.5g buckets receiving roughly 2 quarts of medium density o marina and they continue to tick along with little effort. Buckets are siphoned off to half full once a week or so.
