Harvesting Copepods

[DYIguy]

I have a 13 gal tank with no fish in it. It had bubble algae and I did a complete blackout for a month which killed it, along with a wall of gsp. I still have aptasia in the tank- which I'm killing off with lemon juice. I recently noticed that the glass is covererd with pods- can't see any free swimmers. What is the best way to collect the pods off the glass. I tried using a small fish net- gets a few but doesn't seem to be the best way

Not going to work getting them off the glass, a syringe might work better- both would be better if I was working at a 90 degree angle not at best a 45, but some sort of scraper with a very fine net collector would even be better

How about a brine shrimp net. Put the net below and then try to scrape them off so they fall into the net.

Sponge on an algae clip,or just float the sponge in the tank.

That sounds good, @reefsandrotts , not sure how it work out, but I'll think about it- they seem to be after the algae on the glass
