Quality handmade sieve.
I use this sieve for a few aquarium related tasks. I filter my live phytoplankton to remove the larger chunks prior to splitting the culture. I use it to harvest copepods. It is also great if you hatch your own brine shrimp. I considered making these myself but for the price of these, it isn't worth the hassle.

Well made and handy to have!
I have a 15 gallon and 30 gallon reef tank and grow my own small cultures of pods. These sieves work great for separating pods. This is a well thought out set for the price. If you make bigger cultures, you will want a larger diameter than 2", but for me this fits into my culture tubs well. The larger mesh sizes work for rinsing food pieces like frozen shrimp, too.

Does the job, could be better
Copepods get stuck in the crack. I noticed a week later, a bunch of dead ones stuck in the sieve

Works great for culturing salt water pods
Great product...works well for marine pod culture. Purchased larger 4" version after because larger size is easier to work with. Wash with fresh water after use and dry thoroughly and these screens should last a long time

Not durable for saltwater environment.
I have this sieve for a while now and I’m not sure why it eroded creating holes. It’s supposed to be plastic? Or is it metal? I use it for my rotifers to breed fish.
