Something killed it all in first place, right?
I also remember a thread about someone seeing a copepod eating Dino. ... So I dunno

In theory unless you have a really good refugium, you might need to add them on occasion even if your tank is healthy.
Since our aquariums are a closed system, eventually one form of pods could wipe out another as they are competition.
I have Dinos and I've always had Amphipods.
Montireef is the one who saw the copepod eating dinos (I think)
I am following what cal_stir did.
Getting different pods from different places as well as phyto.
Also keep in mind fish eat them, so Its possible to damage to the total # of pods in a closed system. That's not including killing off the microfauna on accident using things like AlgaeX or Overskimming etc etc.
I blame overskimming and/or Nopox for my issues.
