    I would like to know where I can buy some live copepods for my tank? Does anyone have a recommended web site?

    pods = copepods, also check your lfs they should sell live copepods.

    Thanks everyone for the input. I will more than likely buy from reef cleaners. My LFS does not have any on a regular basis and they are relatively inexpensive. Now I just have to wait to pay all my bills.

    once you get the copepods how do you feed them if you do not have a reef system?

    They eat microalgae,detritus(some), and leftover food. They are also, technically, part of your CUC8)
