Cyanobacteria (red slime algae) vs copepods

[Dinosaur]

i've found something interesting, so this is my refugium, i stuffed it with a lot of macroalgae, but since the water flow is lacking, there was intense bloom of cyanobacteria
(red slime algae), almost give up on this tank until i put some dead fish there, which a lot of copepods feed into it. now it has a lot of pods which eating that red slime algae, around a week ago almost all the surface of my glass coated in it. now it is significantly clearer. i turn it on 24/7. i will throw more dead fish or my food in it for pods's food later.
