Back in my day (lol) we had no phyto or pod care systems to maintain, today many opinions differ on need, care and maintenance of a pod population. I've been reading through many posts regarding this topic and need some guidance.
I have pods which came via a small amount of Chaeto who exploded in my tank, but as I continue to use UV they have diminished, coincidence?
Do folks minimize their UV use to help pod populations?
Do you dose Phyto to supplement the pods?
If yes how much and how often.
Do filter socks effectively end Pods?
I don't have much in the way of corals yet, but I have a mandarin and I know they are very dependent on pods.
I also am looking to duplicate a brine shrimp feeder that PaulB posted to supplement the mandarin.
Any insight is greatly appreciated as this aspect of reefing is new and foreign to me.
Thanks-
