I mentioned a few months ago that I wanted to add a refugium for Copepods aka cyclops. Well finally started last month by adding a few sprigs of java moss and copepods from a culture container. Well after some observations of the breeder box weekly noticed a increase of copepods. Yesterday using magnifying glass found 2 copepods on the aquarium glass. That's a definite indication the larvae and adult cyclops are entering aquarium via breeder box. Surprisingly the moss is growing with the low light its receiving from the aquarium. I don't feed the breeder box.
