Re: moina
All depends on what you consider minimal work, minimal size, etc. From
each of my 20 gallon tubs (muck buckets) I can harvest about 1-2 cups of
moina. I use a 60 um screen net to collect and concentrate them (i.e. to
change water). I also change 75% of the culture water per day (with new
green water). Keeping the micro algae cell density high it is possible to
keep the moina and rotifers reproducing by 100% every 24 hours (given right
water, temps, etc). Thus it is possible to harves 50% of a tank and still
have the same ammount the next day. Speaking of which I need to change my
water.
