    kids, if you drive down the road with your windows open, music blaring and you think you look cool.....

    Just remember, everybody looking at you is thinking "what a pratt" and laughing at you.

    very easily , i use a 2 litre food container with a rigid pipe air tube.
    Once or twice a day add some live phyto and sit back and wait. Once a week i put 500ml of cultured nano phyto in and leave for a few days till clear, the rotifers seem to like this as at the moment my copepods are taking over



    Eventually you end up with this :D
