Database corruption =\

The shallow method + ktp water method works really great, what a life saver. No smell, no wc, minimum hassle.
The steps again :
1. Pour freshly bought and bagged tubifex worms into a small plastic cup.
2. Get ready a 1-2 litre jug of aged water.
3. Pour and rinse them thoroughly, all the gunks, white worms decomposed matters etc etc will float out. Pour immediately away.
4. Repeat this pour and rinse couple times till u feel comfortable with the "cleanliness."

5. Prepare small plastic rectangular tuayhuay containers. Each container est last me for a day's feeding. So can prepare a weekly supply.
6. Add aged water + ktp concentrate, worms tail ends must be able to stick out of water. Put tubi worms sparingly per container. Too much will foul..
7. Shake the container and make the worms scatter everywhere inside.
8. They will clump back very quickly. Usually there will be some debris which you can siphon out with a minidropper.
9. Worms metabolism will slow down over the days, not necessary dead.
10. Congrats, no wc or feeding required.

"Later part of the week observations" Day 4 onwards
11. For more precaution, on later days, it is apparent and common to have few dead worms or occasional gunks, just siphon, remove out.
12. Because the water is quite shallow, evaporation does take place, worms also asorb abit of the water, so topup what was lost for days 4 onwards.
12. Before feeding especially on later days of the week, can rinse the worms with tap water one last time. Feed immediately.
