the setup basically is a 3 gallon plastic fish bowl in a 10 gallon tank.
I put fresh water in the 10 gallon tank so not to waste salt.
I placed the heater in the 10 gallon tank portion so that I could have better control over the heat. I didn't want to place the heater directly into the fish bowl fearing that I would cook them.
I then placed a air hose with a air stone in the fish bowl.
However, after talking to Beverley I changed that to a just running a air tube into the tank and put a valve on the airtube. I now have approximately 2 bubbles per second going into the tank.
If you look at the pic and wonder what the shutoff valve is for, basically I took the tank off the system that I was developing where all the tanks drain into one main sump.
the reason for the fish bowl verses the 10 gallon tank as it condenses the babies into a smaller space so that I don't use as many rotifers and they stay at a higher concentration.
As well, with a fish bowl, the babies don't have the abilty to get stuck to the side of the bowl at the surface because the walls fall away verses straight down which may cause some of them to become stuck to the wall and expire.
Again, this setup is from the research I have done online.
To say that it is a work in progress is an understatment.
If anyone has any suggestions at all, PLEASE let me know
