Daphnia food

I was boiling up some lettuce for my wood frog and toad tadpoles, and I was wondering if anyone ever used the left-over water from the boiling as daphnia food. I just got some starter cultures today, and figured I'd ask if someone'd tried it before I risked fouling the water and losing $15 worth of newt food.
 
I've been wondering the same thing, but I don't use the boiling water, in a day or two the water you put the lettuce in will be nice and green as well.

I'm now trying to use a second tank with lettuce to culture daphnia, as before I only kept them alive till it was feeding time. If this works, this should save me some time and money. (got to admit I added some algae I had been growing for a while)
 
try feeding the daphnia on tetra-animin...

    Hey everyone, just want a little advice. Its 55 - 60 celcius in my Salamanders tank. Hes curled up and tyring ti bury himself, Im assuming hes too cold. I was wondering if he would benefit from a heated rock cave (since he LOVES his cave) that I could set on low? I NEVER see him curled up and trying to bury himself unless his tank sits at 63 degrees celcius or lower. So I am assuming hes a little uncomfortable.

    He also seems a little sluggish, again, assuming hes cold. Having heating trouble with the new house right now. What do we think? Was thinking of grabbing this for him since its got very low, medium, and higher medium heat settings that exude heat downward inside the rock cave but ALSO exudes it UPWARDS outside of the rock cave, effectively keeping the tank itself a little warm. Seems like it miiiight be a little small for him though, my guy is about 7 inches from tip of his nose tothe tip of his tail. What do we think? https://www.amazon.com/Reptile-Simulation-Adjustable-Temperature-Tortoise/dp/B0CH1DPGBC
