It has been done, but it's not easy.
Before anything else you will need to have a special larva tank called a plankton-kreisel. It's basically the same basic design as those tanks used to keep jellyfish. Without that any other effort is pretty much wasted.
Then you will have to set up cultures of green water (single cell algae like Nannochloropsis, Tetraselmis,...), rotifers, pods,...
