You can use a 2 liter pop bottle. I did that first. You just cut the bottom off it. Drill a whole in a piece of wood the size of the cap.

thanks for blessing Marsh with your presence :D
I'll definitely be picking up some calanus from the store, thanks for that.
I have a white worm culture, would they go after those the same way they would blackworms?

You are welcome, my child. ;):p

Paul claims white worms are more appetizing than black worms, and a QT vendor I know says his Copperbands eat them like crazy. So, definitely worth a shot. (My wife won't let me grow worms inside the house. :()

@ITreefer I actually have a DIY hatchery and some eggs you can have if you want. I will be at FJW tmr and can drop it off if you'd like.

Woot got my ship notification.
Qt tank is at 1.021 and copper at .75 after adding rodi to bring salinity down some.

I also have a cleaner wrasse coming. I should have got some fairy wrasses too but funds are short.

Also fired up the brine shrimp hatchery.

Same here, it will be interesting to see what time our respective deliveries are made.
LA deliveries have been coming pretty late for me recently.

I've got a nice variety of food as well including the calanarus that @Humblefish recommend and a brine hatchery from @sneezebeetle (Thanks Deanna).
Also have the white worm culture to pick from.

Good luck to us all
