how to grow copepods faster???

[BradsOcean]

I have chaeto in my refugium and I can see some pods, but I want to have a ton of them for my mandarin goby. I give it a little phyto when i dose my tank but is there any other way to get them growing fast.
thanks in advance

You can grow them in another tank. Fill a 2.5 gallon tank 1/2 way full of diluted phyto, enough so the water is a nice green color. Drop in a pod culture and let then tear the phyto up. Once the tank begins to clear up, add more phyto. Every three weeks strain out the pods with a high micron filter and replace the water and do it all over again, oh and put the pods back in the 2.5 gallon as well as drop some in the tank for the mandarin.
