Have a 60 gallon cube, stand is not very big and has an acrylic sump that holds about 10-15 gallons. Anyways its only 2 chambers and just enough room for the skimmer and return pump. Id like a fuge for chaeto and pods. Would a small HOB be enough to make a difference in pod supply?
 
Absolutely. Any space that you can dedicate away from predators will saturate with pods that will overflow back into the display. Here's a good BRStv video on the topic:



I'm a DIY person, so I might try to go that route first, but I appreciate the simplicity of the $$$ options as well.
 
I bought a marina HOB breeder box, bought waterproof strip grow lights, wrapped them around the box with black duct tape, stuck some chaeto in it, and threw it on the back of my tank. works well for chaeto and .. yes there are pods in there.
