Would like to have more co-pods in my aquarium is there a paticular copod that does well in a reef aquarium ? Which have you used?
 
If you are intended to increase your pod to feed the fish, the majority of all commonly seen (or commercially available) ones are similar and suitable for the reef tank. Since you post the question in the SPS forum, I imagine you at least want to have a chance to feed your corals as well? If so, I would start with copepods in the Cyclopoida family. Pods in this family spend majority of their time in mid-water (instead of crawling the rock or glass) which makes them more available for the corals to feed on.
 
I'd primarily look specifically for tropical species. I've never had much luck seeding with many of the subtropical species available.
