I think that's a great idea.  You and I had talked on the phone about me ordering pavlova instead of tetraselmis anyway.

Very cool!  Like watching Santa make his rounds on Christmas...tracking the presents. If all goes well can we split the load at the meeting? I will need to know how much $ to bring. There were so many people posting I'm a little confused who's splitting what.   Thanks Bob

Andy, I was thinking feeding them diatoms? Do they need different water
than my other pods? Salinity 35 ppt or so?

Tell me!

Well just make sure you are suing aged, clean water just like you would
grow your algae with. Don't use newly mixed up or unclean water.

EEK! No stinkin' diatoms! Here's a note from Erik, King o' all things micro:



"It will be very important to get the copepods the algae they need. T.Iso
and rhodo work very well.   The following is important;
stock them at 100 per liter approximately. Aerate very gently a few
bubbles per second..just barely breaking the surface. 24 hrs light is ok
but should not have to be intense light -diffuse is probably preferred (For
instance 10 inches to 1 ft from a florescent cool white lamp)

Second- feed the T.iso or rhodo combo so the water is a light tea color.
Too much algae and they won't eat and not enough and they will
cannabilize each other. Periodically change the water and clean out your
container(remove all the biofilm from the walls). Do this by pouring the
culture into a 75um screen that is sitting in water so that they do not dry
out. Clean your container and then partially refill it with clean sea water
and then rinse the collected animals back into the jar. Pour in a light tea
of microalgae and you are in business.

If the culture reaches densities that are too high..the adults have been
known to cannibalize the babies. Working densities are approx 0.5-1.0
per mL. Adults can be removed by using a 250um screen and the nauplii
can be removed with 100-150um screen. These critters drop up to 80
eggs per day under ideal circumstances but you do not want to over
harvest.

What I use is a 1 gallon clear jar I got from WalMart, popped a hole in the
lid and ran an air line into it from an aquarium pump. I have a fine
adjustment attached to the line so I can regulate air flow. I have made
screens from various objects to sort the adults from the nauplii but it is
hard to keep up with them. A raging culture will clear out the tea color
1-2x per day.....DO NOT OVER FEED and do not use diatoms (chagra,
Thal) or nanno. T.Iso and Rhodomonas or T. iso by itself.

Remember this is a different critter from artemia, rotifers or the
commercially available copepods. It is more sensitive to handling and
culture parameters. It can easily get contaminated with other copepods
after which you will see more activity on the walls rather than in the water
column itself."


************************************************************ *************

Ok, so I should clorox my other pods now before they contamiante my
pedigreed pods?!!!

This is too exciting!!!

We'll just have to meet this weekend somewhere in Salt Lake to get everything.  No big deal.  I think we should meet at Adam's house.
