Adding pods

thompson2224 · 10/02/2016, 07:15 PM

I just started my tank again. I started it with all live rock and sand and tested the water this weekend and the tank is fully cycled. The tank has been up for a little over a week now.

I ordered the Poseidon feast pack of 3000 pods so that I can get them introduced and reproducing before I add livestock and the official snail clean up crew.

When I add them should I add food to the tank for them to eat or will they be okay without and keep reproducing?

Odds are they will be fine, some species eat algae and detritus so it should be fine

I agree^^^. Also I usually put in some pellets for pods and CUC to eat when there is no fish in the tank.

If you can get some nannochloropsis that will keep the pods fed. If not you can use this
