How are you harvestiing your tisbe pods

[Reefen]

I dont see much details on harvesting tisbe pods. I need details on micron size, if your pouring or siphoning the culture. I saw on youtube where someone was using paper coffee filters in a coupling and pipe to secure the coffee filter he was catching tiger pods this way, coffee filters are about 10 to 20 microns, so dont know if this will work for the tisbe pods

I bought some 50 micron mesh bags from Amazon. I glued them on to a sieve that I had. You can even make a DIY sieve. You just need to get the 50 micron mesh.

120micron nutmilk bags and a gallon pitcher is how I’ve been doing it.

Well was now I just have an in tank fuge no only pod diet requirements here tho.

I found a thread that said they ran through different sized sieves to collect adult, juvenile and babies so I orders this from Amazon.

so are you guys pouring them from the culture, siphoning them or using some other method of collection from the vessel

I haven’t harvested yet as I just started my cultures, but will probably pour from vessel into a pitcher and then sieve into mason jars.

~200 micron will get mostly adults
~120 micron will get adults and juveniles
~50 micron for all stages including nauplii

Once the culture gets denser consider harvesting nauplii. You can harvest all the nauplii and the population will recover in under a week.
