Best place to grow/find copepods?

Running a distant second th a refugium would be a "pod pile" in your display tank. Just a pile of rock rubble with nooks and crannies that no fish can get into- you can also invert a small strawberry basket type "lid" over the pile to really keep the fish out. This provides a place for pods to congregate and multiply without predation.
