Where to buy copepod sieves?

Do you guys have any suggestions on where to buy sieves? Thanks!

I haven’t had the best luck finding them for a reasonable price where I live so I made my own for super cheap.

i ordered nylon rosin press bags (just order the mesh size you need for your specific use) from Amazon, opened them up and glued it to a cut piece of abs pipe I had on hand.

I’ve been using a nylon mesh coffee filter for adult pods. No idea what species of pod they are though.

I believe Brine shrimp direct has sieves. They may or may not have the size you are looking for.

Mercer of Montana (available on Amazon and Etsy). I like that they are stackable and are ceramic which gives them some weight so that they stay put while pouring. They have different diameters available- my experience is with the 4” dia.

I've only seen them on ebay, but I find its much cheaper to just make your own, exactly like Tathamet above explained.

I ended up buying Mercer of Montana. They seem to be best value for price. Didn’t realize these were so expensive!

Good choice. I think you’ll be pleased as they are well built. I used to harvest rotifers and pods at the same time by stacking and pouring the water thru all 4. Top would get rid of plankton chunks, then a layer of adult pods, followed by a layer of smaller pods and finally rotifers in the bottom sieve.
