copepods Q's

[burrows14]

That sounds easy enough! I'm tearing down my tank tommorow morning to catch a couple of tangs and I have a ton of extra rock in my sump! So this should be a peice of cake! How much sand should I use? Make a sand bed or just enough to seed the tank?

Cheers

I would add 2 inches. The added phyto will also supercharge the critters in your sand and when you empty the 10 gallon stuff to your main tank the sand bed in your main tank will also benefit.
When you are at the LFS if they have a fresh live rock with an abundance of life on it, buy it and put it in your 10gallon as well.

Look tonight when it is dark. If the sump rock is crawling with copepods it will be ok. If not invest in a fresh alive new rock (even if it is smallish) to seed your Copepodium.
