copepods

Hey, I recently bought a fiji cube aio 22.4 gal and was wondering if I could run a refugium in my return pump chamber? I’d like to run filter media in the first chamber. I would also like to run bio media, a skimmer and a heater in the middle chamber so that doesn’t leave me with much room left...

Hey guys, I’m mooking into getting a ruby red dragonet from my lfs. I have a refugium all set up and running with tons of pods. I would eventually like to get him onto mysis, but was also wondering if brine would work? I’ve read that they can eat them, but how does the nutrition of the two foods...

Should I be concerned about this growth? Is there something I should introduce to curb the algae looking growth? I’m going to be implementing a refugium in the sump in a few weeks time

Hi, I'm new to the saltwater hobby and everything I see that I did not add to the tank freaks me out. I have these small white bugs on my glass I read about them and it sounds to me like some sort of copepod. I fed my tank cyclops at the start when I added my first fish as the banggai cardinal...

I have an old 5.5 gallon tank with a heater, HOB filter and lights. I am interested in breeding Copepods to supplement the ones in my BioCube. I have a couple of questions. 1) Is this feasible for breeding Copepods? 2) Is there different equipment I need? 3) Do I set it up with live rock and...

Hey everyone! I’m new to the saltwater hobby & am very pleased! I went to my LFS yesterday & bought some Tonga reef ready rock & some Fiji live rock to add to my nano reef. When I woke up this morning, boy was I pleased... COPEPODS EVERYWHERE!! (Tank has no fish yet) My question is, what do I...

Hey everyone, l’m wondering if anyone has ideas or any experience with building a Fuge for a 20 gal Waterbox. The back section of the waterbox has three sections, one for a filter sock, a middle which is currently empty, and a pump in the third slot. Would it be possible to make a Fuge to...

I’ve only seen this twice in the past 2 months. At night maybe an hour after the lights go off, hundreds of baby mysis shrimp are floating in the water column. Is this some sort of hatching event or something?

I have a Fluval Evo 13.5 that's been running for the past year, today I noticed these little guys all over my glass. I'm not sure what to make of them, I'm assuming they are some sort of a pest. I initially thought copepods, but I haven't introduced any to my tank - maybe they came in as...

Hey everyone I noticed these small little blobs moving around on my screen few days ago. I didn’t dope any copepods but just some more one and only from dr time and another fluval beneficial bacteria. Should I be taking any action? Hope these aren’t flukes? Thanks!

So I bought a GMD from my lfs 2 days ago. I have a well established 15g reef tank, I’ve been doing thorough research for about 2 years on how to keep them and actually owning one is stressing me out lol. Even though I populated my tank with a bottle of tiger copepods 2 days ago, I cannot tell if...

Don't get me wrong, I know the benifits of having lots of pods in your tank but for the past couple of weeks I have been seeing 1000s of pods in my tank. I am not talking about the small pods that appear frequently in new tanks and can be seen usually on the glass at night, I am talking big...

Good morning r2r! What’s everyone’s opinions on adding copepods? Before or after fish are added? Should I have the refugium up and running or the dry rock will provide enough hiding spaces? I’m about 6 weeks into my initial cycle of a new 125g long and triton 44 sump. My test kits are still...

A couple weeks ago I introduced four jars of AlgaeBarn 5280 Pods to my 125 gallon, and have been dosing 25ml of OceanMagik phytoplankton daily since. I honeslty don't even know if there are any copepods in the tank at this point. I keep looking and looking, and I just can't find a single one. I...

I have a Waterbox 20 Nano running a Tunze Algae reactor. The return for my reactor feeds into the same chamber as my return pump. Loose bits of chaeto are flowing into the chamber and eventually cause my return pump to clog (even with a cover on the intake). I was thinking a simple solution...

How apparently i have flat worms and if I'm not wrong, they're just a small as copepods if not a little bigger.....right? I have a TON of copepods in my nano tank which only houses 2 nass snails and a few different corals. This whole time i thought those were just adolescent copepods but if...

I recently found this video and was wondering if anyone has heard of this or thinks it's possible. How to culturing copepods! The easy way! (She shows her set up and says she's using old tank water and lights, no lid, no air, no circulation, and getting copepods AND phytoplankton to...

Just recently acquired a green mandarin dragonet, and would like to introduce copepods to my tank to give him a great food option. However, I have no idea what I'm doing with these little guys. I have a 110gal, plenty of live rock and substrate... I purchased Sustainable Aquatics Copepods...
