This listing is for customers looking for additional supplies to accompany our Mercer of Montana Home Culturing Kits. Review: Product is small, product is not what is listed - This product stated it came with pods, water , tubing etc to culture your first culture of copepods. It only came with the jar which was so very small. Please be aware this jar is slightly bigger than a quart mason jar. disappointed and I bought 3 thinking I would have everything except the pump of course to start my pods. Review: Wouldn't buy again - The kit is well-packaged and comes with everything you need to get going. The glass is of nice quality. There's not a lot of fit and finish as you can see someone just stuck a drill bit through the lid as quickly as they could but did not take the time to clean up the work. Both cultures came in quickly, but as you can see in my picture the bubble rate is good but I have a lot of settlement. I followed the instructions they included. I went through rigorous sterilization of jars and equipment. My culture is now 5 days old and the algae are darker than the culture itself. I emailed mercer 4 days ago asking a few questions but never heard back. I would buy your starter cultures elsewhere and get a couple of nice jars. The OK-priced jars in the kit were the selling point for me, but the overall quality of the cultures I received left a lot to be desired. ## Features - Perfect for Starting Your Own Phytoplankton Culture - Wide Mouth for Easy Cleaning - Home Culturing ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07ZH8R5PQ | | ASIN | B07ZH8R5PQ | | Additional Features | Lightweight | | Best Sellers Rank | #1,169,682 in Home & Kitchen ( See Top 100 in Home & Kitchen ) #1,097 in Decorative Jars | | Brand Name | Mercer of Montana | | Customer Reviews | 3.1 3.1 out of 5 stars (10) | | Date First Available | March 16, 2016 | | Included Components | Vessel, Rigid Air Tube | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Weight | 23.2 Ounces | | Manufacturer | Mercer of Montana | | Manufacturer | Mercer of Montana | | Material Type | Glass | | Package Dimensions | 10 x 6 x 6 inches; 1.45 Pounds | | Product Style | Modern | | Specific Uses For Product | Indoor | | Tank Volume | 64 Fluid Ounces | | Target Species | Fish | | UPC | 783515005615 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Vivarium Type | Aquarium | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Mercer of Montana - **Included Components:** Vessel, Rigid Air Tube - **Item Weight:** 23.2 Ounces - **Material:** Glass - **Special Feature:** Lightweight - **Specific Uses For Product:** Indoor - **Style:** Modern - **Tank Volume:** 64 Fluid Ounces - **UPC:** 783515005615 - **Vivarium Type:** Aquarium ## Images ![Glass Culture Jar and Rigid Air Tube Set - Mercer of Montana Home Phytoplankton Culture Supplies - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61k+qJ0S36S.jpg) ![Glass Culture Jar and Rigid Air Tube Set - Mercer of Montana Home Phytoplankton Culture Supplies - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71lxSB3WxCL.jpg) ![Glass Culture Jar and Rigid Air Tube Set - Mercer of Montana Home Phytoplankton Culture Supplies - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/315i2MCNVgS.jpg) ![Glass Culture Jar and Rigid Air Tube Set - Mercer of Montana Home Phytoplankton Culture Supplies - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31iOsnjK54L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does the extra vessel come with a rigid airline?** A: Mine did.
