Pods...where they end up.

[stubbsz]

I always used to see all sorts of life in my tank at night when I sneaked in with a flash light and now I never see that much... I have to look around a lot to find any 'pods'

Strangly though, I just put some cheato in the sump so now I have a light down there to see what's going on.

I've seen life down there without a light so I took a peek.... well nothing much in the chaeto but the bottom of my Phosban reactor has about 40 of them swimming about... doomed I guess.

I've seen them in my skimmer before. Jusr swimming around.

I have no pods in my tank anymore. They all must have died during the recuring process. This is probably a bad thing.

If you have a wet/dry for your tank they end up in the bottom , underneath the bio-balls before the sponge. I left a large bag of charcoal down there that they use to nest in :wink:

I have no bioballs or media at all.

Then they go back to the main tank, how they look when they get there it's anybodys guess 8O

You can reintroduce them if you'd like Rob, by getting some from a local hobbyist or add a new piece or two of live rock. There are a few places online that sell pure cultures, I've used them and they work well but area bit pricey IMO.

Funny thing is that I always had more hanging out on the bag of carbon than I get hanging out in the Chaeto. I've got City-pods... not those rural-hill billy pods.

In my nano cube I have no fish so I see pods everywhere all day long. They dont seem to have a lighting preference as I see them in the back sump portion as well. In my 55 I see them in my little hang on refugium, on the glass at night, and in the filter pad when I run a little HOB filter.
