Do you see chaeto growing? What do you have in the fuge ?

You will see it grow over time and you should be able to see the pods after a bit. I have had mine set up for two months now and there are pods everywhere all over. It is easiest to see them on the glass.

Your fish are much better at spotting pods than you are... if you have any in the tank that eat pods, you will likely never catch a pod out in the open (for long).
