Best place to buy pods?

[pjewett]

Hi All,

I've a pretty good pod poplulation in my sump but want to periodically give it a "boost."

What are some good sources for live pods? Online examples or anything in the Long Island area?

Thanks

Chaeto from a fellow reefer? One that knows he doesn't have flatworms.

I got some chaeto at the LFS recently. Loads of pods... but a good helping of tiny white/translucent flatworms as well.

I have a nice bit ball of chaeto in my sump as well as live rock but just don't see a ton of them. Thinking of trying to care for a mandarin goby.

You probably don't want to rely strictly on pods.

My question was where is the BEST place to go. I surely am aware of Ebay.



Went to Inland Iammatt...thanks for the tip.

What size is the tank you want to put the mandarin into?

It's a well-established 65 with 20 gallon sump/refugium. Miracle Mud bottom with lots of live rock and chaeto that grows like a weed.

Too small? Interested in your feedback.

I would first see what members on this site and your LFS's have to offer. I also purchased pods from here in the past:
