Just installed one of these pod lodges to encourage pods to take up residence and breed. Anybody got one similar if so how do you find them?

I smeared each of the removable layers with a paste food to attract pods into it. I will leave it a few weeks before removing and opening it to see how successful it works.

Very artistic. Where did you get it?

I have used reef rubble in a media bag. Eventually, biofilm grows on surfaces which feed micro fauna.

From a well known auction site in the UK but its pretty obvious. Not sure if I can mention it by name. Am sure there must be similar in the US and Canada.
 
I used one from copepodsforsale.com called the pod hotel and it worked great to establish a colony until they got big enough to self sustain in normal crevases and overflows. I removed it about 6 months after installing.

Yes I have seen one called the pod hotel. Why did you remove yours?
