Copepods

If I buy a bottle of pods and dump into my refugium, will they survive and multiply? I would like an on going source for my mandarine.

Sure they will.
Make sure you have LR in there and not to fast flowing water.
Chaeto or some kind of Marine algae is beneficial too.
How big is your fudge?

I have a ten gallon refugium with LR, low flow, chaeto algae,grape algae, and red bubble macro algae. It also has tons of amphipods but I haven't seen any copepods.
