Re: [Killietalk] Amt of Air/Agitation in BBS bottle

[Wright Huntley <whuntley at verizon_net>]

I use open-ended rigid air line (3/16"?) with no airstone. Air amount is 
adjusted to just keep all the cysts circulating. [For some reason, any 
that are caught in the neck or on the sides don't seem to get enough 
oxygen and they never hatch very well.]

It is a pretty full vigorous boil, and does not seem to hurt the nauplii.
