How to collect Mysis Shrimp?

[ouling]

I have about 500+ Mysis Shrimp in my refugium and it's doubling it's numbers every 2 weeks. Can anyone tell me how to collect them and put it in my tank for food?

yep. you know how to make a home-made bristleworm trap? do the same thing with a smaller hole and put something the mysis like to eat in it. i dunno for certain re: mysis, but I know copepods love zucchini.

that or you can do like I do and pull a handful of chaeto out while you're doing tank maintenance and place it in the display tank for an hour or so.

yea that was what i'm thinking.

<300 GPH in a 25G refugium with ALOT of macro and decent light (it's behind my main 800w tank) DO NOT CLEAN IT EVER, and thick sand bed and no predators. It seriously doubles ever 2 weeks. BTW, don't ever clean the glass or other algea, thats what they eat.
