Advice for raising Copepods

[Llovsbarbie]

Thinking about raising some Copepods for my seahorse tank and was wondering what your guys set ups were like. I am actually wanting to keep it all in my main tank and not have to set up another tank just for them. Is this possible? I was thinking I should be able to set them up in a pile of rocks. I have no fish yet so they will have time to produce. Any advice is welcomed. Maybe once this is done I can get a Dragonet...

If all you have in the tank are seahorses, you should be able to keep them in the main tank. Seahorses wont be able to eat them as fast as they will breed.

Is there a certain type of Copepods I should get? I checked out my LFS and they had none so plan on ordering tonight.

I was thinking of ordering from here..

Reef pods are the best size for seahorses and madarins.
and phycopure for feeding them
