Adding Reef Pods

[civitan.erichanson]

I started up a refugium with chaeto and calerpa (sp?) this week. I also bought a bag of live copepods. Do I just add the enture bag to the fuge? Add some over time? Do I turn off the fuge pump for any period of time?

 

Thanks,

 

Eric.

I would turn off the pump for about 15 minutes. This will give them time to get into the macro and not get sucked out by the pump.

 

Just dump the bag in, I would acclimate it to the temp of the tank first, then dump it in.
