Is this the "green water" you were talking about?

I bought some nannochloropsis culture from this site http://floridaaquafarms.com/shop/microalgae-disks/

But didn’t get around to cultivating ....I lost the culture dishes,...suspect wife might have accidentally thrown them in the bin.

When do you think you will try? Are any of your ML's berried?

She is currently berried in a guppy box. I will transfer her in the box to another tank once I get most of the OP out. If any ML larvae (when they are ready) get out of the box through the opening I will transfer the mommy ML back to original tank. Then go from there.
If you look a couple of inches to the right of the M/L there appears to be a baby shrimp, is it an Opae Ula?

What about a tank which contains live rotifers + Phytoplankton to add the NL larvae to? Air line in there to keep the water moving gently. No sponge filer as everything will get sucked up?
