I now have three new cultures started, all using non-sterilized water that was put through 27uM mesh. I also have the wineglass "culture" going, but I added some Centropyge larvae tonight so if all goes well that one will be eaten

Right now I have a 5 gallon tank, about half filled, then a 1 gallon clear cereal container about half filled, and two half gallon containers partially filled. I am feeding with Iso mainly, but I did also give them a small amount of Tetraselmis once. Only the five gallon tank is aerated at the moment, but I will probably start aerating the other cultures soon.
I used water that is sieved through a 27 micron mesh instead of sterilized and neutralized and I haven't experienced the weird cloudy water then death issue since switching.

The 5.5 gallon tank seems to have bloomed nicely. The smaller containers aren't doing quite so well, but still have some Parvo in them. I want to start some larger tank cultures soon.

Pics of the bloom:   This weekend I hope to look at them under the scope. Just double check that they are what I think they are (hope they are...).

Hi, I need your opinion becasue I can't take a decision, gosh I am used with nanno and plicatis but I failed in raising marrons and citrinus. So now I would like to try something smaller. But here it comes the hurdle...should I have to start with parvo or rotundiformis? My preferite are parvo but I read so many negative feedback and difficulties in raising them. And also T-iso seems to be quite critical. Any suggestion from your experience? Cristina
