Copepod Sieve

[CloudReefer]

Anyone got a link or recommendation for a properly sized (~50 micron) sieve for harvesting pods? I have tisbe and tiggers right now.

Thanks!

Amazon has a lot of cheap brine shrimp nets of different shapes/sizes depending on your preference.

Everything I've seen on Amazon so far is 80 microns or larger.

What about a 3 pack of different sizes for like 100 bucks shipped? 53, 120, 250

Hmmm...
A lot of the baby brine shrimp nets I see on Amazon come with a 200 "mesh" net which, if I trust the Internet, translates to 74 micron.
That worked for me on outdoor pod culture but that was quite a while ago and I don't even know what species I had going,,, but they were barely visible with naked eye.

Don't know,,, keep searching and good luck.

120 is the smallest.

Got a link? Can't find it.

That link doesn't work?
Yeah 120 so you'd have to wait til they got a liiitttle bigger . Very affordable compared to the others when I was shopping around though if I recall...

It's been a while since I've gone looking, so none that are exactly 50, but here are some 45 micron and 53 micron sieves that should work (you might be able to find cheaper/exactly 50, I just haven't looked in depth recently):
