Because Tigger-Pods (Tigriopus californicus copepods) swim upwards with a stimulating, jerky motion, they are attractive to a wide range of fish like Mandarin dragonets, Seahorses and Pipefish. They are easy to culture and perfect for propagation or restocking refugia. They breed rapidly, producing scores of eggs per female.

Reef Nutrition's new Breeder's Choice Roti-Clean Filter is designed to make benchtop-scale medium density culturing of rotifers simple and reliable. Live rotifers, are essential first-feeds for the larvae of many fish (for example, Clownfish) and the Roti-Clean Filter system makes growing them easy!

The Roti-Clean filter conveniently fits on the side of a 5-gallon bucket. The water movement through the filter aerates the culture, keeps the phytoplankton and rotifers suspended, and has a filter floss insert for waste removal.

Daily maintenance of the culture (aside from feeding and harvesting) is simple. See our maintenance instructions for details.

Note: Roti-Clean is replacing the original Compact Culture System (CCS) Basic and Starter Kit, which are still available for customers that prefer the original technology.

The sieve’s clear acrylic cylinder makes it easy to see the animals being collected. The sieve is 4" in diameter and 4.5" tall.  Ideal for harvesting rotifers produced in Reef Nutrition’s Compact Culture System (CCS) and harvesting copepods

The Compact Culture System™ (CCS) makes culturing rotifers easy & reliable! Rotifers are essential first-feeds for the larvae of many fish. Commercial performance at bench top scale.

The CCS turns a 5-gallon bucket into a continuous growth and harvest high-density rotifer system. Comes with a custom-made fitting that incorporates an aerator and a particulate waste trap. Aeration provides oxygenation and water circulation that draws particulate wastes into the trap (floss).

Daily maintenance of the culture (aside from feeding and harvesting) requires only 5 minutes to flush the wastes from the trap and brush the interior surfaces of the bucket. The CCS is sturdy and easily transported, and includes a flexible translucent cover that isolates the culture from contamination.
