My Fluval Evo 13.5 is about 4 months old now. It has about 10 easy corals (duncans, xenias, kenya tree, green rodactis, gsp), 2 oscellaris and 1 tailspot blenny.
I’ve been reading about copepods and rotifers and I feel it’s the next addition I need to do to my tank. But I’m confused about what I should buy on this page. https://copepod.ca/collections/packs
Would 8 oz of copepods and rotifers + phytoplankton blend medium concentration 8 oz be okay ? If not what else should I buy ?
My second question is this. This supplier recommends putting 50% of the pods and rotifers in the sump. If I do that, are the pods and rotifers going to somehow transfer into the main compartment or do I need to manually extract them from the sump somehow and put them in with the fish ?
And do I need to put the phytoplankton blend into the sump compartment or will there be enough coming in with the flow ?
Last, what is the difference between phytoplankton and zooplankton ? And is it best to have both copepods and rotifers in a tank ?
Thanks for your help !
