[compost_tea] Protozoa: Methods of growth



Has anyone done any study of what grows the best protozoa either to add to tea as it is applied or later?  We concentrate a lot on fungi and bacteria, but they are the "fertilizer" bags. I would like to know other's experiences growing protozoa, one of the "fertilizer spreaders."
 
So far I have been using an ornamental straw in a bucket filled with well water, aerated with an aquarium bubbler for 12 to 36 hours. I get plenty of critters when viewed under the scope, and some are even familiar from high school biology--paramecium, amoeba, volvox?  I must have paid some attention.
 
Any other suggested methods? What works best? When is the best time to add these to teas?
 
Cheers,
 
Jeff
