1st phytoplankton/copepod culture attempt

[perez2199]

Last Thursday I started my first attempt at culturing Tetraselmis phytoplankton and copepods. I think things are going well, the phytoplankton is starting to darken up and there seems to be lots of lively copepods.
Below are picture of the phytoplankton on Thursday after I set it up and today.
Any tips, tricks or advice welcome!
Thanks in advance!

Are you growing physicals pods together? I’ve never tried co-culturing, but seems like the pods could take out the plant phyto culture if it isn’t dense enough to start

The pods are in a separate container
I don’t think co-culturing would work out very good either
