Pods in fuge ??

[Charlie]

I have often read aquarists suggesting that pods should be grown in a fuge where they are protected from predation and have time to reproduce. How is it that the pods aren't just swept into the display tank with the return water?

Lot's of'm will be. That's the idea. But you'd do well with rock rubble and macro algaes in the fuge also so they'll have a place to live, hide, and reproduce. Some will be swept into the main, but that's a good thing.

Here's a shot of mine. It's a combination sump and fuge, but you shuld be able to get the idea.

Austinsdad is correct. Think of a tank without a fuge. The pods like to hide under the LR and sand. Some of them will get sucked innto th filter, but for the most part they are ok.
