Need more pods

Gizmo · #1 09-11-2005, 10:17 PM

so I've got my 20, PACKED with pods, I turn out the lights at night and with a flashlight you can see a frenzy of the little guys everywhere, but my 70, alas is lacking in them. I've transfered some sandbed, even tried one of those booster packs from Aquarium Illusions, I just want to make sure there is enough for my scooter blenny.

Looking forward to the responses.
I don't have much of a pod population in my tank.

Even though I have macros and a refugum.

Certain fish will decimate a pod population. What kinds of fish do you guys have that might be eating your pods?

2 tangs
6 line
2 clown
bi-colour dotty

6 line is a pod eatting machine.

ok, prior to him, i still hardly had any pods.
6-line and mandrian were introduced at the same time.

The dottyback is also eating pods! I'd reccomend taking at least one of those out unless they are eating prepared/frozen food.

actually the dotty and 6line are all eating prep/frozen food. no worries there.

the mandrian.... well in the 4 weeks I've had him, i've only seen him a handfull of times. no shruken stomach yet. he's always hiding in the back behind the rocks...

Do you have sand in your tank? BB tanks won't have nearly the same number of pods as tanks with sand. If you want more pods, start feeding more, just watch the water quality!

yup about 3" of sand.

about 6" CC in the refuge.

scare to feed the tank too much as it has lead me to cyano outbreaks.
