Helpful Hints

1. Live Copepods are stored below 75 degrees and the bottle should be placed out of high light to prevent algal blooms.
2. Oxygen in the bottle will be depleted with time, so it is recommended that the flip caps be opened occasionally to allow fresh oxygen to enter the bottle.
3. It is safe to add these copepods and the water directly to the saltwater aquarium, reef tank, or refugium as the water is made up only of filtered salt water, copepods, and phytoplankton (the copepods' food source).
4. If dosing directly into a saltwater aquarium with the intention of creating a continuous population, it is best to do it after the tank lights have shut off to prevent all the fish from instantly devouring the new tasty additions.
