Pods everywhere:)
It's amazing how fast the pod population grows when there's no predators. My 10 gal nano which has been set up about 5 weeks is full of them. I'm starting to see quite a few small bristle worms too.

Very Nice Rick --- Look forward to the Nov Meeting.
Yes I would have to agree about pods. My pod population is huge. At times they seem like they swarm. Also my bristle worm population is rather large these days.
Unfortunatly my flatworm population is also rather large these days. I do have a few suggestions from fellow reefers on how to get rid of the flat worms without mucking up everything in the tank --- I'm just scared.

Heh...you don't want me to come over then..I have a knack at finding TONS of stuff! heh heh
Pods - short name for all the fauna (little critters) in the tank. The "bugs" if you will. Small crustaceons (sp?)... gamurus shrimp, copepods, amphipods... all the little guys you see crawling on your glass, rocks, and sandbed.

Nice tank Rick O. Were did you get your LR. I can't believe it's just a 10 gallon it looks alot bigger for some reason. You have started with the most beautiful of all coral IMO. JB

The Nov meeting will hopefully be at Rick's house so we can all see that nice coral up close and personal. All the details haven't been worked out but we'll let everyone know with plenty of time to spare.
I'll try and not keep ya guessing like I did this month.
