Pods

Hello:

Did anyone order/buy pods? I was thinking about ordering a bottle or two from ocena pods. Please let me know what you think of their product. Thanks.

This is to seed my refug. I just have chaetos, sand, lr.. that's about it.

 

You already have pods in your tank. If you just set up your tank, just let them reproduce naturally. Your wallet will thank you

 

aquaboy, you are everywhere.. haha.

I mostly started with base rock, with only small amount of cured lr. you think pods exist still? Thanks.

 

if you have good lr then yes it really depends on what is consuming it and water params

 

if you did everything wrong and killed every single thing in your tank,the pods would be last to die.if you have liverock you have pods,unless you did something like bleach it on something.at night like in with a flash light for them,very small bugs.

 

Hmm, I think I saw one after I stirred up the detritus on my rocks before a water change.

 

i did buy some pods when i got a hectors goby and was worried about him not eating. when i first got them i couldnt see them at all but now theres a crapload all over my tank my wrasses belly looks like a he swallowed a marble. i bought mine off ebay. i would tell you to look at getting the tiggerpods i kinda wish i tried those because you can see them and the fish are suppose to like them more.

 

I buy triggerpods I think from Reef Nutrition...cant remember the brand exactly. (They make artic pods, phytopheast etc) Anyway I placed them in my sump when I made the transfer and now I have a butt load also. I will be getting more as I have either a finger dragnet or a sea robin...cant tell.
But you want to allow them to come to room temp before adding. In bottle when you get them and cold, you dont see them move. When they warm up, they will start swimming in there.
