The Pod Core is an optional attachment for the AK Culturi-M, engineered to massively increase usable surface area inside the vessel. Its cone-finned design creates layers of grazing and habitat space, boosting internal surface area signficantly, while a solid, weighted base keeps it planted and prevents floating.

It is shaped to discourage air bubbles from getting trapped, keeping surfaces consistently wet and usable for biofilm growth. The footprint is intentionally small so water can still flow underneath, preventing dead space and helping circulation stay even throughout the vessel.

More surface area means more biofilm, more natural food, and more sheltered space for microfauna like copepods and rotifers to feed, hide, and reproduce.

The core is super easy to use, simply place it inside the Culturi-M, and ensure the lid lines up with the hole at the top of the core, the lid will then auto-center the core for you and keep it there.

Turn your Culturi-M into a copepod reactor

Pod Core is the surface-area attachment that transforms your AK Culturi-M phytoplankton reactor into a dedicated copepod reactor. A must-have surface booster for anyone culturing copepods or other zooplankton like rotifers — massively expanding grazing area, reproduction zones, and pod habitat.
Pod Core is an attachment for the Culturi-M and is sold separately. To buy them as a set, see the AK Copepod Reactor.
1

Increases surface area

Increases surface area of the Culturi-M vessel by roughly 119,634.43mm2
2

Improves grazing and reproduction

Creates more feeding zones and “safe” structure so pods can graze constantly and reproduce with less stress.
3

Provides shelter

Gives copepods and other zooplankton protected micro-habitats to hide, rest, and breed away from open flow.
