Hi guys is it possible to keep copepods in my DT? Right now my tank is still cycling. i was thinking after cycle before putting any Fish i put in copepods 1st. Probably will stack some rock for them to hide. Will it work?

Bro... No diff... You cannot control the rate that the pods are being pumped into the DT. It'll still be wiped out in no time. Mine took a week and the sump is emptied out... Lol...
