How do I produce my own zooplankton? I have heard that you can just fill a 2 liter bottle with water from your tank and then set up a gravity drip with it after the water turns green. If anyone has succesfully done this please help me out. I can't affort to keep buying bottles of it to feed my corals.

Its supposed to let all the single celled critters reproduce like crazy when you put the 2 liter bottle in the window so that the sun can hit it.

That method works real good for growing phytoplankton, but any zooplankton inside the bottle will usually have their population reach a certain size, then crash, letting the phytoplankton grow at will. But phytoplankton are the building block for zooplankton culture, so getting a good amount of phytoplankton growing, then adding it back to the tank, will help boost the population of any zooplankton in the tank.

Should I let the line drip into the main tank or the return pump area of the sump?
