| Re: Pod question I can personally vouch for the hang on aquafuges. They are a good investment. I have one on my 180. Its not really there for any type of filtration, but it really is a good place for pods to grow. I have so many in there it looks like a little city when they are all moving around. As far as how they work, they just have a little powerhead that goes in the water and a bulkhead that drains water on the other end.

| Re: Pod question ok well some work like a hang on skimmer but in detail a ph or pump pushes water through a tube that is connected to the fuge and then there is an out flow tube that when the water gets to it water will flow back into the display.

| Re: Pod question Yep! Mtfable is not kidding. I have a HOB fuge that holds 6 gal. I crammend it full of rubble rock live sand and cheato. Its not pretty in there but got tons of pods! I noticed an increase in pod population after I started dosing plankton for a while. I have several different kinds of little critters swimming in and around the LR at night. They are gonna make a fish real happy someday soon! |

| Re: Pod question If you can find some fellow reefers in your area going in on a purchase from this place is a good idea. Just surfing their website is fun: Ocean Pods - Aquacultured Copepods for the hobbyist

| Re: Pod question If you have an ipod, may I suggest listening to "talking reef" hosted by rob weatherly ? He has episodes on pods and refugiums (and pretty much anything else you can think of). I just bought 1000+ pods to replenish my fuge for my mandarin . Call Christina at aquaticentertainment 1-813-789-5294. For $38.99 + free shipping you'll get a nice mix of amphipods & copepods. |
