Pod farm

Redbird5 · Monday at 10:20 PM

On October 1st I started my pod farm,oj bottle rinsed out, added fresh salt water, a gentle ait bubbler and fed phyto plankton every Monday. About the middle of the month I added an old sponge from my aquarium. I see no pods, I know they're small, I'm wondering if they died.
Any advice for the next attempt?

Use your magnetic glass cleaner to clean the tank. Put magnet in a container with chaeto, flow and light. Rinse and repeat.

Phyto would really help as well.

The water is clear, it means there is no food - it should be permanent shade of gatorade green, IME it should never be clear like that. Abundance of food is what causes them to increase the population, shortage of food decreases the population.

Chat GPT told me to feed them once a week. That was my failure, listening to Ai for advice.
