breeding copepod in display tank

[hannible]

Hi, does anyone have any experience in breeding copepod within the display tank? was thinking of using a small breeder box or a critter box at bottom of tank but dont know if pod food would contaminate water? Thanks!

Pods don't need food. They just need a place where there are micro algae or other things that they can feed on. Or they would consume uneaten coral food.

if you have plenty of rock, they already have a breeding area. if you have a sump area you can get a pod hotel or 2 and then shake them out every so often in the display to keep the population up.
