I was excited to learn about Apocyclodlps culturing because I know they have different requirements. You said it was on the reef nutrition site, but I don't see it there. I'd love to read it if you have it.

Thanks for watching, at the bottom of the apex pod product page there is a tab for use and storage, and then there is a link for a PDF about culturing pods. Let me know if you see it.

I had a light nearby and algae built up on the sides of my container. Should I clean all that off or will they feed off it?

Keep an eye on them but I believe they will be fine.

Do blennies eat copepods? Do all fish eat them? I have some difficult fish to feed that I just got so thinking about cultivating. Can I cultivate in sump if I dont have a refugium? How would I do that? Would they enter tank through return? Would they also get sucked back down and get trapped in filter socks? What are the copepod hotels about?

Blennies can eat Copepods however not all fish will eat them. I would recommend cultivating your own in a separate container, I do have a video about how I raised Copepods that would be a good reference. Copepods can get moved up to the display by return pumps and they will feed the tank. Copepods hotels are like a safe space for Copepods to hang out and reproduce.

How do you transfer the cultivated tigger pods to the tank? What do you use to scoop them up? And is it a problem if you scoop them with the water from their container? I thought this water that they are cultivated in will contaminate the main fish tank?

They can be added to the tank from the bottle. If you wanted to you could get a sieve or try a coffee filter to separate them from the water before adding, but they are fine to pour in.
