Cultureware

Culturing live food at home is one of the most cost-effective things a serious reef-keeper can do. The right equipment makes the difference between a thriving culture and a constant cycle of crashes and replacements.

Aquaculture Kings designs and stocks the gear that makes home culture work: from our flagship AK Culturi-S and AK Culturi-M phytoplankton culture vessels, to the airline accessories, harvesting tools, and replacement parts that keep your setup running long-term.

What you'll find here

  • AK Culturi vessels — purpose-built phyto culture systems in small (S) and medium (M) sizes, plus the optional Pod Core attachment for high-density copepod cultures.
  • Airline and aeration — 4mm tubing, valves, manifolds, T-unions, and precision needle gates for fine flow control.
  • Harvesting tools — fine micron mesh, sieves, pipettes, turkey basters, and our zooplankton harvesting tool.
  • Air pumps and stones — Aqua One single-outlet pumps and 4mm air stones built for culture vessels.
  • Replacement parts — vessel kits, lid kits, seal and valve kits, and rubber feet for the AK Culturi range.
  • Culture Clear and glass rigid tubing for specialised setups.

Whether you're starting your first phyto culture or running a multi-vessel hatchery operation, this range has it covered. All shipped from Australia.
