Have not. Boo. Its a more passive system basically a floating box with mesh on it small enough to keep the adult mysids out but left the juivies through. I'll keep looking.

That sounds easy enough to implement. Do juvies head to the light when born? I didn't think they did, so how do the kids get up to shelter? Does it need to float, or can it just be taller than the water line and sit on the bottom? Is that enough annoying questions from me for one morning?

Or is it to keep the adult mysids IN while the young ones look for hiding places in the bottom ? Anyway, nice and simple ! Do you feed the adult mysids artmia nauplii, Richard ?

Yes, adults in, babies out. Can be made even more simple by plumbing a tank into a sump. In the tank are the adults and the outflow to the sump is screened to let the babies through but keep the adults in. At the sump, the a container in which the outflow drains is screened to keep the babies in and lets the water continue to flow. Makes sense? Its still really hard to produce numbers, and we do feed bbs.
