How to Grow Fish Food for Crustaceans & Zooplankton
- 1). Add a small volume of synthetic sea water with a specific gravity of 1.019 to a disk of nanochloropus green plankton.
- 2). Lift and carefully swirl the dish every half hour. Pour the culture into a clean 4-pint plastic bottle after a two hour period.
- 3). Push one end of a 1.5-foot long piece of air line tubing into a wooden air diffuser. Push the opposite end of the air line tubing into the exhaust nipple of a vibrator pump and place the wooden diffuser into the bottle.
- 4). Shake well and then add 20 drops of Micro Algae Grow to the 4-pint plastic bottle.
- 5). Place the 4-pint plastic bottle on a shelf in a room that receives sunlight.
- 6). Fill up to 3/4 of five, 4-pint bottles with synthetic sea water.
- 7). Add a wooden diffuser that has been attached to a vibrator pump to each of the additional bottles.
- 8). Monitor the color of the water in the original bottle. At a point that it turns dark green, pour a quarter into each of the four new bottles.
- 9). Refill the original bottle with synthetic sea water with a specific gravity of 1.019

Add a small quantity of synthetic sea water to a new disk of nanochloropus green plankton and begin the process once again. - 11
Pour a quantity of green water from one of the four bottles into the crustacean and zooplankton cultures, until the water takes on a light green tinge. Add additional green water, as soon as the color in the zooplankton containers disappears.
