now that we have that out of the way....
 I am planning on getting an Aqua Clear AC 50 or 70 from J&L (unless someone has one they want to sell cheap) and making it into a refugium. Once i stock that with some pods/rubble substrate etc, how long until the pods start to reproduce? I gues what i am getting at is; i put the mandarin in my tank where he starts gobbling my pods (that are plentiful at this point), how long until the refugium is producing a sustainable amount of food?

Personally I'd have your fuge up for about a month. I have no idea how fast/slow pods produce, but with a good number to start and a safe place for them to do their thing (the fuge) you should have a good population going.

feed your refuguim a few small drops a day. You will notice a increase in pods in about a month or so http://www.jlaquatics.com/phpstore/s...t_ID=rm-pfl006
