Hello
I’ve been trying to culture tigriopus copepods in a 6 gallon tank and feeding them with nannochloropsis. How much should I typically be adding in a day? I know people say to keep a slight green tinge to the water but it gets hard to see when algae starts growing on the glass. Also, will the pods snack on gracillaria macroalgae? I’m trying to grow that in the tank with the copepods.
Thanks
Dave

not sure if it scales up the same to your tank size but FWIW I use 1/3 ratio in my 3L bottle. 1L phyto. I don't dose daily, I just add 1L phyto in the 3L bottle and harvest every 7 days or so
