Culturing Vessel Details
Temperature:	~70 (Room temperature) ° F
PH:	Not measured
Specific Gravity:	~1.024
Vessel Description:	1 gallon clear plastic container, 10 gallon tank, two 5-gallon bucket culture set up, but I'm hoping the bucket set-up allows me the best long-term culture option and the others can be run occasionally just for feeding purposes
Lighting:	Fluorescent strip light and ambient light
Lighting Schedule:	6AM to 9PM usually but varies

Methodologies
Feeding Tactics/Medium:	I feed them newly hatched artemia, sometimes enriched artemia. I have also occasionally added rotifers.
Split Cycle:	Not really "split." Usually I use a net to harvest adults (the juveniles can pass through the net). Occasionally water is removed or added.
Split Yield:	Not measured/counted. I usually just swoop a large mesh net through the culture until I catch 10 or so that I use to feed fish.
Number of Cultures:	3
Number of Splits:	N/A
Density:	Not measured
Harvest Methology:	I usually just swoop a large mesh net through the culture until I get the number of mysis I would like
Adjustments Made:	I am constantly making adjustments it seems as I learn how to best culture these, mainly changing the size of the culture container
