Just purchased some copepods at reefapolooza. What’s the best why to add them to the tank?

To be on the safe side, acclimate as you would any critter you add to your system. Most people just dump them in. I would acclimate, personally.

Temp acclimate, turn off skimmer and UV, poor in with lights out is best as it gives them a chance to find a hole to hide in before the fish eat them. Give it about 15 to 20 minutes and you can turn everything back on.
