I'm trying to create a chamber in my sump specifically for copepods to proliferate so that dosing them wont have to be as often. I plan on culturing them as well but I want them to have the best chance at producing and sustaining a decent population in my sump. I will be dosing phyto in the sump as well to further support the pods. I plan on culturing phyto as well to make it more cost effective.
I was thinking Marine Pure spheres in a 2" wide section of my bubble trap after the refugium for the pods, but some suggested that the pores were to small for the pods. So I was thinking some coarse filter mesh pad would be even better in the same location instead of the spheres.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I'm trying to plan out my sump the best I can.
