Have you taken a red lensed flashlight and looked in the fuge a hour or so after the lights went off. Pods tend to be photophobes.

shine a light in your tank in the middle of the night. you'll be surprised to see a whole new life that takes place in there when you're sleeping. use a red light like water keeper said, as white like will scare them all away.
