I've recently started culturing daphnia again. I have 2 cultures in 2-liter soda bottles and feed them active yeast and spirulina powder. I've used the same setup and foods in the past and had good enough production for the most part. But feeding them yeast and spirulina, there's always a chance of fouling the water, which has cost me a couple times in the past.
I was wondering if aeration is worth doing in such small containers. I've tried an air pump/tubing setup, but it produces too strong a current in the 2-liter bottles. Is there a way to make this setup work? Is there something else that would work in such small containers? Or should I not bother with aeration and just be careful with feeding and maintenance?
Thanks
