Has anyone on Marsh been able to culture pods successfully? If so how did you do it?

I have a copepod/amphipod tank set up. I havnt had it very long probably about 2 months. I just have some small peices of live rock and some macro algea in the tank with them and a small air stone. I put in a little phyto about every 3 days and they seem to be multiplying pretty well. But i still have a lot of learning on this and am no expert. How i have it set up so far it seems to be doing pretty well.

Hey Wendy are they pods line isopods or they amphipods. I don't have a problem with growing amphipods like crazy in my macro if I want but they seem to eat the isos which I think the fish like more.

I beleive Just amphipods, I have some really big ones as well, didnt know they got that large! But I bought some a couple weeks ago that was suppose to be a mixture of the iso/ amphipods but are very small right now.

So no one here is growing them in a "tide pool" setting to add to the tanks as the culture increases?

What brand of Iso/Amphipods did you buy?
