im just thinking, if i add decapsulated shrimp into my tank, itll be sucked up by my skimmer before they even hatch. are the eggs themselves a good food source?
i turn my skimmer off while feeding. the skimmer sucks up everything...phyto to cyclopze-eze.
along with some of the decapsulated artemia cysts by Algagen:
After much discussion with Dan at Seahoese Source, I decided to hatch in a feeder, pull 1/3 of the nauplii and all unhatched cysts and feed to my 65 tank. Then I an going to grow out the other 2/3 of the nauplii and feed with the phytoplankton I am culturing.
After 7 to 10 days I will filter the adult brine and feed to the reef. So I think will feed nauplii once a week and adult brine the next week. I am not sure how often I will end up feeding this in the end but I think that is a good start!
I will post additional pics as I get them. It should be in middle of the weeka nd i should have my forst batch early the next week ( I am out of town this weeekend).
i cannot remember where i heard this (i think in the refugiums podcast) but i think rob said something about brine shrimp in ur fuge (im listening now to make sure) but what would happen if you were to feed them into your fuge would/could they reproduce if the flow did not suck them out?? or is it just better to grow different cultures to feed your tank, on that note, how often would you feed your tank.
you can catch decaped brine shrimp eggs to you tank, they will hatch in there. probably wont readily reproduce because they will be eaten before that, but its an alternative. you ill produce more using the culture method, but its an option..
