"Extra" Copepods in the tank???

FishGuy5 · 07/24/2007, 09:13 PM

I have 4 Erractus in a 24 gallon refugium. I'm going away for a weekend. Saltwaterfish.com has 200 pods for $15. If I stocked the fuge w/ this amount, do you think it'll keep the seahorses satisfied for a couple of days? Anyone ever tried something like this. I know the ideal situation would be to ge a sitter to feed twice daily, but I can't find anyone reliable enough. Thanks for all input.

200 pods isn't nearly enough to feed 4 erectus for a couple of days. Or even one erectus. Try getting 500+ small shrimp instead from someplace like www.seawaterexpress.com
