Hi all,

I've got a refugium that has nice fat mature copepods. But I've only got a few in my main tank.

They r hiding in my glass magnetic cleaner.

What's the best way of transferring my pods fr the refugium to my main tank?

Tks!

your return pump will do the job well, you may have more pods in your DT than you can imagine, some can be very small, most are hiding in rocks in the day time.

do you have a dragonet that requires pods for feeding? if so, monitor its health and body size for a while. if it is fat and healthy, chances are it has more than enough pods for consumption.

Ehh so basically if I have a refugium in my sump. With pods. My return pump will xfer the pods to my display tank from my sump? I do not have to manually do it is it?

yes, the pods are poor swimmers, basically they go with the 'flow', thus the water from your ref will contain pods that gets transferred into DT by your return pump.
