Methods to breed Moina?

My own Moina culture method has been OK but results in a variable supply. Numbers will build until there are absolutely zillions of them, then recede until there are only a few hundred or so before building again! I’d like to achieve a more dependable supply and so I’m going to try your method, Deepin Peat. To that end I’m making myself a guide based on the information that you have kindly offered in this thread.

One question : presumably a culture based upon your method doesn’t continue for ever? So is there an optimum duration that you’d allow a culture to run ; and how do you tell if a culture requires renewal ‘early’, as it were?
