    Hi, I have a refugium in the filter area of my 28g jbj nano cube. I was wondering what is the best way to seed it with pods?

    buy some live pods and just dump them in there to allow a population to start. do you have chaeto?

    +1 on the above.

    Once you have some pods in there, they will settling and start to populate.

    If you already have pods in the tank they should find their way into the refugium. If there's no pods in the tank or you want to seed it faster you can buy a bottle of pods and dump it in.

    Yes I have a ball of chaeto in there. Can you get a bottle of amphipods?

    if you want to, sure. I'm assuming you want to get a mandarin or scooter in your tank?

    I don't think that clowns and a firefish will really consume pods... Why not just feed them flake food, mysis, brine, cyclops, and all that kind of stuff?
