Daphnia Magna Culture

     I received the daphnia magna culture I ordered last Saturday from a great and reliable source and had a 10 gallon tank setup to try my luck in culturing these interesting critters. The culture tank has an air hose with low aeration and I even placed an aquarium thermometer to keep an eye on the water temperature of the tank. Aged pond water from my outdoor koi pond is being used as the daphnia magna culture water. I’m feeding them yeast dissolved in aged water and so far they are doing fine.

With cover Without cover Installed it to the middle rack in parallel connection with all the lights connected to one switch. Flipped on the switch and all the LED lightbulb burst to life. Been observing the lightbulbs for some time and so far the performance is good. Used to have 12-24watts of lighting per 15gallon tank but now with these energy efficient LED, its down to 3-5watts per tank. By removing the cover of the bulb it greatly reduces the glare and gives a kind of spotlight effect making it unnecessary to install hoods or reflectors. The manufacturer claims that the light produced by ...
