Capturing Copepods from my sump

[Rmckoy]

curious what these pod hotels are …
Anyone have a link or where to get them ?

I just take my filter cloth out and shake it in a bucket of tank water .

Your return pump will give them a ride up to the display tank just fine

All drains lead to the ocean

All drains lead to the ocean

The question

Will the pods last the journey through the drain to the ocean ?

They will probably be around long after you and I are gone.

Does anyone know the best way to capture copepods from my sump to feed to my fish?

You can buy pod hotels or make them from home Depot supplies. Look at you tube

I purchased a pod hotel and put it in the sump a few days ago and pods are already in it.
Should be easy to just pull out and shake it in my 20g nano and then back to the 45's sump.

Pods like the underside of my 4" tiles in my 45's sump.
I shake off the pods into the 20.
The pod hotel will allow me to get more pods to the nano.
