I am planning on starting a fuge to grow pods and help with nutrient control. From my looking around and reading I have a few questions now.

For the fuge I am probably going to use a 20 gallon tank. Do I need to have a separate section for the return pump like I do in my sump?

How do I get the pods into the display tank for the fish to eat?

You want it seperate so macro algae won't clog your return pump/pipes. Pods will naturally go from refugium to display. Return pump won't hurt them.

You can build a pod hotel. When its booked up, move it to the display tank for a few days. I think you can even buy them.
