Podmeisters! How to grow 'em?
 

I keep adding pods and feeding phyto but they are gone after a day or so. No skimmer and nothing yet that should eat them, any suggestions?

A refugium helps as well as lots of established live rock with little holes in them.

maybe the pods are hiding? They're good at that.

how long have you been dosing and feeding phyto? takes a couple weeks i found;)

and your skimmer wont eat them up , neither will any pumps you have ......i have mysis breeding in my reactors and skimmer, they find their way through the mechanics just fine ;)

About 3 weeks now, third bottle of pods now (I checked that they are still moving) and keeping the phyto in the fridge

I was doing the same thing with Tigger pods and saw the same thing as you, until one night the lights went out and a huge swarm emerged from the rocks! There was probably 50-100 of them in my little 12 G fluval! my clowns cut 'em down pretty fast!

I tried but no such luck and the water quality is getting a little low with the skimmer off.
