Keeping pods

[wrfreeman]

I've built me some pod condos and added then to my refugium. From what I'm reading they need to kept in a dimly lit tank, but I'm not sure how that works when you need a decent grow light to keep the macro alive that they eat. I think I can rearrange the refugium to keep the macro in one corner and shade the rest. I'll stack the pod condos in the shaded area. Is this the typical arragement or am I barking up the wrong tree?

I am not an expert on pods but as long as you have a place for them to hide out in and nothing in your fuge to eat them I wouldn't worry to much about it, they will reproduce.

That's prob wrong, they do come out in dim lighting, maybe that? But that's cause most of the fish go to bed. In a pure coral tank they are all over all the time, you can spend hours looking at all different kinds
