Anyone ever put live Copepods into the tank?

Hey, did you walk by my booth at the Marine Aquarium EXPO? This is a very correct statement.
LOL, no, but if I recall correctly you were the one who told me that a few weeks ago when I asked about culturing. I've had the Reef Pods from SWF since Friday. I'm keeping them in a 1/2gal "spaghetti" jar (tall and narrow - sorta like a pod culturing unit) w/ a small CF light on them and they're doing great! The light is enough to keep the jar a little warmer than room temp - I haven't measured but I'd guess ~ 74°.
They weren't labeled on the package, but from what I've researched, I believe they're Tisbes.

Get a manderine! I can't because I don't have enough pods...no refugium.

You don't need a refugium to have pods..

i have no refugium and i kept one for 3 months before it jumped out.

I fuge doesn't have to be an added piece of equipment. You can even make a little pile of rubble and throw the copepods in after dark to give them a chance to find refuge in the rocks.
