Hello everyone , the google machine has not produced any results for this question. So you guys are my next source. Does anyone add copepods to thier FOWLR tanks? I currently have a 75 AIO tank with
1 picasso trigger “1 1/3 - 2 in max “
1 blue spot puffer “1-1/2 in”
1 lunar wrasse “1 1/3 in”
1 purple stripe dotty back. “Most aggressive fish in the tank btw”
And about 50 lbs live rock.
Is it worth it to add the copepods?
Or will they just be decimated in a matter of days? I attached photo of rock work. Any input is appreciated. Also if you have a idea for another addition I would like to hear..

I always understood the reason for pods in the tank is for the fish that eat them as their main/only food source, but they also help with maintaining water quality and tank maintenance. Here is an informative video:
Good luck.
