Many of us order in pods or algae or any other assortment of things to add to our tanks, and some of them come in these nifty little plastic jars. I've already found a half dozen uses for these jars from temporarily housing small fish to watering windowsill plants. Primarily they're...

If you used an automatic filter roller preventing leftovers and fish poop to get to the refugium, would you still have a thriving pod population in the refugium? I believe the obvious answer would be no, as they’d have little to eat. But frankly, I don’t know if pods are able to eat tiny bits of...

I recently started a Tisbe pod culture and am following a few guides on r2r as well as on youtube, but I'm starting to wonder whether I even got any live pods? I've got two cultures going each in a 1.7l jar, both have airline tubes connected to them at 1.025 salinity. I feed phyto once every...

Trying to just get everything figured out before I start putting together my sump. I have a 29 gallon and am planning on getting a kit for it similar to the Fiji Cube kit. It will have 4 chambers, one for the filter socks, one for the skimmer, one for biomedia/Chaeto, and one for a return pump...

as i start my journey into culturing live foods: phyto,pods,mysis, etc. i’d love to see some of your tanks & get ideas as to how i could go about this. also what’s your favorite “live food” to culture? Thanks!

Hello I am a firefighter and was at work for two days and came home and took a peek at my tank and noticed a masssive pod outbreak. Anyone else have this happen. Didn’t dose pods or nothing. Maybe a frag plug? But man my tank is loaded with them and there pretty big. Like noticeable from about...

What ever you don’t buy from reef your pod first shipment I got had about 10 pods in each bottle. Second shipment was about 40 pods and each bottle. Looks like I’m going back to reef nutrition where they have thousands of pods in a smaller bottle.

Now that we have your attention- check out our video under the microscope of a copepod pooping ;) :rolling-on-the-floor-laughing: What goes in..... must come out.... Due to the fact that phytoplankton removes CO2 from the atmosphere and copepods eat this phytoplankton, these pods are...

Hey guys just a quick question. Monthly, I add @AlgaeBarn ecopods. A couple of months ago I used one shipment of the Galaxy pod mix. Today while feeding my corals, I noticed in my chaeto overgrowth box these little (1/8 inch?) critters. I've looked around at some pictures but I can't seem to...

I couldn’t figure out why my Duncan is receding so I put my camera on it for 9 minutes with flow on and off throughout. Tiny pods like creatures are running around at the base and I think those are what is irritating it. Does anyone know what these are?

I’m trying to establish a pod population in a new tank. I only have eight small fish in 150 gallons of water. There are 100 lbs of Caribsea LifeRock and 80 lbs AragAlive sand in the tank. Phosphates are still unmeasurable so my fuge only has Marinepure blocks. Both the rock, and the blocks have...

Hey all, I’ve recently bought a Scooter Blenny for my Waterbox 20. He readily takes frozen food, been feeding him frozen copepods which he readily eats, and he picks at what live copepods he can find in my tank. Id like to construct a refugium for breeding pods, but just a rubble refugium. I...

Hello fellow saltines, I purchased a bottle of mixed rotifers/pods and live phyto (it's not reef nutrition because my last was out of stock of what I wanted). The mixture contained pods: tisbe biminiensis and rotifers: brachionus privatizing and brachionus rotundiformis. The bottle had live...

Hello fellow saltines, I've done a search for floating macro other than chaeto but don't see anything that stands out? I have a suedo sump are in my AIO but it's in no way isolated from my tank. I would like to put a basket in the main sump area and some floating macro (for pods) that is less...

So I got a couple commercial LfS tanks (about 12g) lying around, and though it might be a good idea to set them up to cultivate copepods and either phyto or brine shrimp. anyone have long term success in cultivating pods and keeping a culture?
