    Tiger Pods will not live in a reef tank

    You can add 10,000 tiger pods, they will all die. They will not reproduce in warm water.

    You need pods that live and breed in warm waters

    haha i hate how everyone posts all at once, it's hard to follow...

    Yeah man, if what they say about trigger pods not living in warm water is true...then i bet they've all died. sorry:( if you go to your LFS, sometimes they'll give away chaeto for free and there will be pods on the cheato. thus seeding your tank with some pods to reproduce. I don't know how long it takes to get an established population of pods though, and i don't know what kind, if any, macro algae you have in your fuge...maybe this will be a good opportunity to start!!! (again, if you already have some...i'm sorry!!)

    Thanks for the info ermano---I have chaeto in the fuge. I will try another type of pods--That is what makes this hobby so great--LEARNING--and sometimes the expensive way!!!!

    if you have a good LFS go there and get about a pound maybe two of good live sand tell them to dig deep , not to just skim the top and seed the fuge with some sand fauna as mentioned Tigers are for just feeding fish ..
