Hi all,

I have just bought a 55 gal with some live rock that has been running for over a year but there are no pods or other critturs anywhere in the tank. Does anyone have some pods they could spare so I can get a population going? Any ideas on the best way to do this? Also if anyone has any soft corals frags available in the Edmonton area please let me know - The tank looks really bare without any corals - I never thought I would be glad to get some xenia!!!

Cheers all,

Brian

You should not have to seed the tank to get pods. They usually show up on their own volition. You may not see them. For instance I have a tank that holds my zoanthid collection. It also houses a Mandarin who hunts pods all day. Still when I pull a zoo rock out of the tank to do some fragging, there are always some pods wriggling among the zoos.

Hi Bob,

I would agree if you have a decent quantity of decent quality live rock - While there is an amount of live rock in there - its not exactly brimming with life and there is a load of tufa rock etc. My budget is limited at the moment and I will be getting more LR but in previous tanks I could always find pods by looking at night with a torch sorry flashlight

Warning: This is not a bump

I just want to thank Beverely and Harvey for the frags. They are doing really well.

Cheers,

Brian
