Thread: copepods

    Default copepods

    I was reading on some posts from '06 about copepods and how someone had ordered some in a bottle but for some reason a member said that they wouldn't work.

    I have a shipment coming in today with copepods... http://reefcleaners.org/index.php?pa...mart&Itemid=34

    Anything I should know before putting them in the tank?

    chris is right, and turn off circulation pumps so they can find their way into the rocks, otherwise they get tossed around and never settle. let them settle without circulation for about 10 minutes with no light. if you don't have a lot of rock work in your display, put them in the sump with the good algae.

    I think you should be fine with the Tisbe pods.
    You can dose some phyto from time to time to boost your population
