Copepod explosion in reef tank?

[scherzo]

How often do you feed the tank?

I find that if I slow my feedings down to 2 or 3 times a week then my scooter blenny and six line go to town on the pods. That usually will keep the pod numbers down as well as giving the pod population less to eat and therefore won't multiply as fast.

I had a pod explosion once and they bothered my palys and zoas to a point where they would close up tight for the entire night and for most of the day. Saw them eating food off of the palys and zoas at night and it seemed to irritate them.
