Hi Guys: It has been some time since I did a post on here. I did a search and could not seem to come up with the answer. Perhaps it has been mentioned before. Anyhow I would like to know if a coffee filter(paper type) or the permanent screen type would be ok for filtering the rotifer cultures? :huh:Thanks for your response as usual. Dass

Hey Das, welcome back.. :)

yes, using a couple paper coffee filters is fine for rotifers.
i prefer a real screen, because they are easier to work with and re-usable, where as after using the paper coffee filters you have to trash them

here is the screen i use
mine is the 53µ (micron)
