The two biggest problems people run into with culturing Tigger-Pods is 1) they put them in a system where they get eaten faster than than they can reproduce, and 2) they don't add extra microalgae to feed them. Pods in reef systems are usually regulated by the amount of microalgae that is naturally produced by the system, and that's not very much. If you want a higher population of pods or are going to introduce more (from a bottle), add extra microalgae so they won't starve.

ok so ive got a problem already and ive barely got this tank up and running yet. i switched the pos css 65 for the css 220 which is what i have on my other tank and really like. unfortunately the pump for the 220 must be screwed since its been running for just about a week and doesnt seem to have enough force to create the micro bubbles for the skimmer to work. so now i have to either find a used pump (i cant find a listing for the pumps on any sites) or get suggestions from canreefers on a different pump to replace it

so its the middle of february, ive got one reiddi in the tank and im searching for more. so far hes doing really well, eating everything i throw at him as well as constantly hunting pods. Hes a nice bright yellow that i got from interior reef, ill post pics when i have time. I added some caulerpa for hitching, do i need to add anything for it to spread? Also what would be a good, pretty, calm and small fish that would work for cleaning up anything the seahorse misses?

kinda thinkin about adding some corals but im not sure what ill get away with. ive already got a few mushrooms, gsp and a few zoas in there but i plan on adding a sun coral and a duncan. im pretty sure all of those are fine but i also want to add a donut coral, some acans, lobophylia, symphilia, oulophylia and favia. any one got some helpful input on those ones. I already have all of them on my frag rack so its just a matter of figuring out what is realisticaly useable in the pony tank, what goes in my reef and what gets sold. thanks for any input
