Continuous rotifer production?

Hello I’ve been trying to get a continuous rotifer production system rigged into my reef. I am currently working with B. plicatilis, and will be trying rotundiformis for their smaller size as soon as I can find a source for the ss strain. I am using a 7 gallon bucket with a dosing pump to overflow 1/3 of the bucket into the system daily, and feeding with Nanochloropsis cryopaste and using an ammonia binding agent, “Ultimate”. I expect to see some problems with production related to the higher salinity and pH of a reef system, but hope they will adapt. I was hoping you have knowledge of someone who has gotten a system to work and perhaps I could learn vicariously rather than directly from their experience! Charles Matthews M.D.
