Re: Daphnia tank
I just got to WallMArt or K-Mart. They have 20 gallon round "muck buckets"
or utility tubs. They work well for my Daphnia and Moina cultures. And for
about$4-5 each really cheap. Here in Hawaii UV degradation is a big problem
and perhaps more of a problem then in the Mainland, but they have been going
for 3-4 years. So I figure $4 over 4 years isn't that bad...
