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. Note: This product is not appropriate for culturing copepods CCS INSTRUCTIONS (pdf) Additional Support at Reed Mariculture CCS REPLACEMENT PARTS ROTIFER CULTURING SUPPORT CCS Starter Kit Our CCS Starter Kit includes specialized parts and components used by the pros.
