copepod diet

[usmc6026]

i just remove my last two fish from my 55gal tank last week now all ihave are some rock,sand and coral skeletons. today i turned the lights on and BAM! there were what looked like thousands of copepods! they eat mostly diatoms correct? but a friend who has many years of experience says i can feed them phytoplankton as well. i just wanted to know if anybody has any opinions or advice on this. i would like to put them in the fuge for my 265 when its time(got the tank just not the rest yet)

I feed my pods a steady diet of the DRIED CYCLOPEEZE in my fuge once a week,, thay absolutley love it and swarm it and i feel it helps me maintain a healthy pod population.

How much would you use for a 110 gallon tank? No fuge here!
