Hi,

You can see in my previous thread where I posted a stock list (https://www.reef2reef.com/posts/14412883/) . I have shift gears a bit and I dosed my tank with copepods last week. I was going to give them a couple weeks to get settled and most likely dose more. I did copepods cause I really love the mandarin Goby and Leopard wrasse. Anyone have success of having enough copepods to feed these two in a 60Gal cube?
 
Are you adding phyto to the tank? Adding more and more pods doesn't mean there will necessarily be more pods, the population will balance out with the food available in the tank. Dosing phyto is more beneficial to keep the pod population up and reproducing over adding more and more.

Yes! I got phytoplankton as well and I am dosing per Dinkins recommendations. I started off with a half gallon of pods and have half gal of phyto to dose for now.
