late at night, take a flashlight with a red lens or some red tissue paper covering it, and look in your tank. copepods are a tad small to see, but you should see amphipods.
you could always go to your LFS and ask for a scoop of the stuff that settles to the bottom of their live rock curing bin to add some.
