| Jeff - I am so sorry to hear the news. I am glad you have a back-up culture, that is definitely a good practice if you are going to change any part of your copepod regimen.
I find it difficult not to overfeed. I look at a culture, it is thriving, my first instinct is to pour in more food for more pods.
After getting stung a few times doing this, I have learned that the saying "less is more" holds true in the world of copepods.
As difficult as it may be, pod keepers out there, try to keep your phyto additions to a very light tint of green or brown (depending on phyto species) and if you are using crushed up fish food, just a few pinches will do.
Good luck Jeff on the restart, let us know how it goes.
