    Depends on if you used DR or LR when you started.. If you started with LR your tank should have pods from the begining, if you used quality live rock. You will see little shrimp like things floating in the water column which is actually the molts of the little critters. If you stare at your rock long enough you should see little bugs crawling in and out of the rock. You can also purchase live pods online but be careful and use a reputable vendor.
