Hi Die wenigsten kennen Sparkle Sparkle ist der Nachfolger von Culture selco + von Inve. Laut Herstellerangaben kann man 2000 Brachionus / ml ziehen. Das sind Dichten die man sich kam vorstellen kann. Nun habe ich meine ersten Versuche gestartet um sparkle auszutesten. Versuchsaufbau 1 Säule 25l 1 Heizstab 23 Grad 1 Dosierpumpe 1 Zeitschaltuhr (schaltet auf die Sekunde) 2 xLuft 1 Flasche für Futter MfG Sylvio Posted Image Attached to this post: Sparkle_Anlage.jpg (21.2 KB)	breeding stock Posts: 199 Group: Members Member #53 Joined: October 3, 2008

zur Fütterung: Angefangen habe ich mit einen Ansatz von 3l Brachionus Die Zeitschaltuhr füttert alle 4 h für 30 sekunden Ich mixe 1 blauen Salifertlöffel auf 200ml Frischwasser gebe es in die 1,5 l Flasche und fülle den Rest mit Salzwasser auf. Also kommen täglich knapp 1.5 l dazu. Diese Menge sollte in 24 h verbraucht sein. Nun ist der Behälter schon halb voll und ich merke die Brachionus haben sich so stark vermehrt das 1 Löffel (blau) nicht mehr ausreicht. Ich werde ab heut abend mit 2 Löffeln (blau) weiterfüttern. Es läuft bis jetzt Super. Um die richtige Futtermenge zu haben sollte man überprüfen ob das Wasser kurz vor der Fütterung klar ist und alles aufgefressen ist.

Ok, I tried to use Google Translate to understand this post; ________________________________________________________________ Hi Few know Sparkle Sparkle is the successor of Culture Selco + of Inve. According to the manufacturer's instructions 2000 can Brachionus / ml . Draw These are the densities can be imagined came. Now I have started my first attempts to sparkle to test. Experimental setup A pillar 25l A heating element 23 degrees A metering pump A time switch (switches to the second) 2 xLuft 1 bottle for food MfG Sylvio Attached to this post: Attachments: Sparkle_Anlage.jpg (21.2 KB) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- animal feeding: I started with an approach of 3l Brachionus The timer is feeding every 4 h for 30 seconds I mix a blue Salifertlöffel to give it fresh water 200ml in the 1.5 liter bottle and fill the rest with salt water. So every day come to just under 1.5 liter. This amount should be consumed in 24 hours. Now the tank already half full and I remember the Brachionus have multiplied so much that a spoon (blue) is inadequate. I will from today evening with two spoons (blue weiterfüttern). It now runs until Super. Order should have the right amount of food you check whether the water is clear just before the feeding and all is eaten.

I recently talked to BSD about Super Selco and apparently it is now off the market and no longer available. So BSD is going to be ordering a new enrichment from Germany, called Sparkle. Tim was surprised that I had heard of it before. He says that it is much better than Super Selco..very high in HUFAs.	stormy, stormy nights Posts: 2,362 Group: Admin Member #4 Joined: June 29, 2008

Here's what Sylvio is saying in his post. Not many people have heard of Sparkle. It is a successor to Selco made by Inve Aquaculture. According to the manufacturer's instructions, if you feed Sparkle to your culture, you will be able to achieve 2000 Brachionus (rotifers) in every 1 ml in the water. Now I have started my first attempts to sparkle to test. Experimental setup 1 25l container 1 - heating element 23 degrees (73.4F) 1 - metering pump 1 - timer that works to down to the seconds 1 - Airpump with 2 outlets 1 bottle for food MfG Sylvio Attached to this post: Attachments: Sparkle_Anlage.jpg (21.2 KB) (see picture in Sylvio's original post above) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- animal feeding: I started with 3l Brachionus in the container The timer is feeding every 4 h for 30 seconds I use a Salifert spoon and mix 1 spoonful of Sparkle with 200ml of fresh water in the 1.5 liter bottle, then fill the rest of the bottle with salt water. So every day, I am adding just under 1.5 liters with food. This amount should be consumed in 24 hours. Now the tank is already half full and I can see that the Brachionus have multiplied so much that a spoon of Sparkle is not enough. Starting tonight, I will start feeding 2 spoons of Sparkle. It now runs until Super. (not sure what this means.) You know you have the right amount of food if you check the water just before the feeding and all of the food is eaten. ------------------------------------ We'll have to ask Sylvio what this spoon is that he's using.	stormy, stormy nights Posts: 2,362 Group: Admin Member #4 Joined: June 29, 2008
