[junyong84]

Hey guys,

Wonder if you are willingly to selling copepods that you have cultivated?

Please quote me a price.

Need them so as to cultivated in my refugium.

Buy 1 uncured live rock from Reborn and you lots of them.

[lightningstrike]

use of phytoplankton will cultivate ur copepod population.

[neokn]

LS,

May be his tank don't have so he need to buy some in order to keep start the cultivation.

[chinmo]

yea... liverocks will intro pods to tank.

[RockLobster]

I just became one!

[junyong84]

hmms, don't really want to buy anymore Liverocks. So was thinking to get some from fellow reefers..

[acura007]

If you already have LR then get phytoplankton to cultivate them. Uncured LR is the best to start with

my liverocks are probably cured. transferred em over from an old tank, with no sump.

Probably all being eaten up liao. So need some copepods to kick off the process!

try using a torch after lights off, u may be surprise....

LRs may be expensive. Just buy one rock of macroalgae (probably a few dollars) and dump it in your sump. Make sure there are no fishes in your sump to threaten the pods. Within a couple of weeks, you should have plenty of pods.

Yes, like this.

[Nickel]

Thanks. Saw some in my tank last nite/this morning crawling on the glass.

Time to stock SH/gobies/mandarins........

[acura007]

not good idea to stock up so fast. let them populate more, say 8 weeks atleast. do feed them.
