You Know How................?

You know how the coepods get abundent in the filter? Well what do you guys do with them? Do you throw them out with the cartridge or throw them in the tank or what? I throw mine back in the tank for the fish and the clean-up crew to eat. Just wondering.

Well actually I dont use any mechanical filtration anymore all I use is overflow sponge and small pad that collects large debree. We use to use a cannister and all kinds of critters were in there and I did the same thing dump them back in fish would go nuts...cya...fixit

Always tried to throw mine back in. Haven't caught any in a few months now though. I still see them in the tanks though.

I have them in my sump.
Didn't know it but I made a breading ground for them.
From cleaning the tank there is some cc from when I had that and some sand. It is a great place for them. Every once in a while I will collect them and put them in the tank.
