little white copepods

You are good to go. Good luck with your setup.

 

Sorry Infamous, but your information about Tigger-Pods is not correct. Tigger-Pods love warm water and thrive in reef environments.

Here is a posting from our website regarding myths and misconceptions about Tigger-Pods:

Reef Nutrition FAQ / Tigger-Pods FAQ

 

Hi Prat4821 - Tigger-Pods are brownish-red and oval in shape so if you are seeing white-spots, they are another species of copepod that is appararently doing very well in your reef tank. Tigger-Pods also have large tails, not the short tails you are describing. You can see a picture of a Tigger-Pod at

They do not thrive in a captive environment. I've purchased them twice before and there were no predators in my display tank. I've never ever seen on in my tank in all these years.

I dont know if its the manufacturer or what. The point is that, its not a good deal for what you get. You get a ton more copepods from precision aquaculture which also include herpactacoid copepods.

i saw a huge bloom in my tank. Every inch of my tank was covered with them. Even with fish in my tank.

 

I'm sorry your personal experience was not good. Not every environment is optimal for every organism and the type of feed you provide them can make a big difference. Tigger-Pods are significantly larger than most of the copepods found in reef systems so they consume a lot more algae. The amount of microalgae that a typical reef system produces each day is not enough to supply them with enough food to survive, much less thrive. If you are not supplementing with a good quality microalgae I would not expect them to survive very many days.
