Pet Forum / Aquaria / Marine Reef / December 2004'pods in sump
My sump\fuge is teeming with all kinds of pods, some of them look darn near big enough to start attacking hermit crabs. Question is, whats the best way to "harvest" them, and get them into the display tank where they can become food for the mandarin and wrasse?  Signature----- Billy ----- Bush won, and we're all going to die. ----- I would use a very fine net (ie a brine shrimp net), or just let them be and the little babies will go through the pump and back up into the tank.

Some keep a sponge in the refugium, and once a week they'll take that sponge and put it in the display, shaking it out well. Odds are the pods wouldn't last long at all in that application as they can't scurry into the rockwork fast enough. However, as Kim suggested, the pods will make their way into your tank via the plumbing.

If your refugium on top or higher than your main tank, the return water should carry those pod back by gravity feed to the main tank. If the plumping as Kim stated that are attach to a water pump, it may get chop / dice.

Tear out a gold ball sized chunk of cheeto and throw it in the display tank every other day. Works WONDERS!! |
