Not having the tank fully established for 6+ months with nothing eating them will certainly hurt.
My Scooter I think probably only did fine because for some reason it actually liked bits of mysis in addition to bring and even finely chopped human shrimp. Also rock I had was old and established.
I need to figure out a good way of getting a lot of the copepods and amphipods from my refugium up top. Amp too big for return pump. I doubt that many cope. get through assorted filters and through the return. Almost considered trying to move the fish directly into the refugium for a few days here and there, though worried about shalow water and the giant majano monster eating it.
Amphipods getting scary large, if I could get a dozen could fry them and top them on my ramen.
