Do you feed the pods in your refugium?

Just want to know how many of you feed the pods in your fuge.

 

no they will be just fine by themselves but if you want them to grow quicker you can use phytopheast but it isnt neccessary

 

My fuge gets fed every time I put food in the DT. Some food eventually makes it down to the fuge. I never intentionally add additional food to an area that is supposed to be breaking down whats in the DT.

 

I use a filter sock and also I turn off main pump when I feed my DT, so there is little to no food that makes it way to my fuge. Once a week I will add a few brine shrimp pellets to the fuge for the mysis shrimp as I have more of them than anything else in there.

 

Every once in a while I feed, but only because I like to watch the little suckers eat. Given that I have a nice population and only ever do that maybe once a month, I'd say they do fine without it. Note that I have no sock on the system.

 

I will sink a flake or two in there from time to time to watch them eat..

 

the only food mine get is what makes it to the overflow.

 

I feed my fuge, but I've also got a sponge in there so its mostly for its sake

 

I add food to mine because I have a yellow watchman goby and pistol shrimp living down there, I don't feed them very often because they normally just munch on pods.
