Some of the many uses of sieves: When doing water changes make sure you run your waist water through on of our sieves so you capture and save all your copepods in your marine aquarium before discarding water.
Culturing Rotifers and Copepods. Start by pouring your culture water (i.e. rotifers) through the sieve. Then rinse the organisms with water with the same parameters as your culture water into a smaller container, so you end up with a denser culture. Feed them directly to your corals and fish fry.
