Large, high quality, stackable sieves available in 53µ, 120µ, 250µ, and 850µ at an unbeatable price! These sieves are very popular and are available individually or in a set of four sieves. All sieves are constructed of PVC framing and laboratory grade stainless steel mesh, and can be used in freshwater retailer or saltwater. All sieves are 3" inside diameter, and 3.25" outside diameter. Stacking additional sieves reduces the number of passes required to achieve the separation you desire.
These sieves are perfect for Rotifers, Copepods, Amphipods, Daphnia, Ciliates, and Artemia (for example, suggested mesh size for separating adult Artemia from nauplii would be 120 micron, whereas a 53µ is perfect for Rotifers). Larger mesh sizes are useful in removing larger unwanted contaminants from culture media.
For single pass results: When stacking sieves, make sure to place the smaller micron sieve at bottom, increasing as additional sieves are stacked on top. For longer service life of sieves, be sure to rinse with distilled or RO/DI water after every use.
**As most aquarists already know, rinsing thawed frozen foods such as mysis, krill, etc., is important to avoid adding phosphates to your system. These sieves work GREAT for this purpose and I use mine daily!
