It would be better to use smaller containers, and have several cultures going: to ensure that if one crashes, you still have some left.
What is it that you want to culture?

We bought some live pods last night but we want to be able to cut out that middle man and give them a place to live as well so we have more of a supply when we need it.
We haven't dug too deep into what we want as of yet but from what we can find on the internet we want to try and culture copepods. As that is what we are told they want to eat. Our tank is 40 gallons, with a couple crushed rock piles in the corners. We know the mandarin will feed from there but we were told they would probably eat what we might have in the thank in a day or so. Right now she is the only fish with a couple shrirmps, crabs, corals and snails. We havent tried the frozen food approach yet (we did buy Mysis as well) as she has been shy and hiding behind and under some rock for the most part...

Before you invest in shipping pods around the globe, you should try the frozen food as soon as possible, you will either confirm or rule it out; then you should set to work acquiring pods.
As Enigma already said; I would use the method of running some cultures in smaller containers; fail safe will be best for the fish  http://www.oceanpods.com/faq.html#culture Check the above link for a little motivation and help.

I know lots of people had great success with culturing white worms. I know Ken at blueworld was selling white worm cultures.

yea but once they reproduce that one time, you will be covered in them like i am, what i do is watch ym rocks at night with a flash light, if you see tons of movment, it will be ok. that way you wont need the middle man once they re rpoduce
