Hi Clayton I have just orders some.

I forgot to look, does the culture come with instructions?

Thanks

Hi Phill, yes they come with instructions. You will need phytoplankton to feed them, I recomend phytofeast.
Happy reefing

Yes Mike coral culture is good for getting the phytofeast, there is a link from my website to the coral culture website.
Yes they will survive the post no problem. Delivery is within 7 days but usually only 2-3 days.
Many thanks

just received my copepods and there swimming around like mad.

ive got myself a small plastic tank, about 2/3 gallons.

just wondering whats my best plan now, get some water from my tank, an airline. and just add the copepods to the small tank?

ive got a 150watt Mh on my sump, (where my other small tank is) so are they ok to be under that?

also once i get phytofeast, how much shall i feed them? is there anything else they will eat? as my phytofeast hasnt arrived yet :S

Use fresh mix not tank water or you might contaminate your culture. Make sure they don't get to hot under the halide.
With the phyto just keep a very slight tint to the water at all times, if you have not got any phyto yet try a tiny ammount of any other liquid invertebrate food, but be carefull not to pollute.
many thanks
