So... My tank has been up and running for about 11 months now. I used dry rock to set the tank up and have not added any other rock than dry rock that was cured / cooked for 2 months with a skimmer on it. Needless to say there are no pods of any kind in the tank. I think this is a contributing...

Hi all, I recently added a mandarin to my 220g tank. I have a varriety of sps and lps in the tank that I also started feeding live phyto to. Until I got the mandarin and started with the phyto, I ran a uv sterilzer on my tank. The water was crystal, 0 algae, but also 0 pods to be seen. Since...

Hey there, Just recently I discovered what I first thought to be snail babies, in my display tank. After studying them for quite some time, I noticed what looked like legs on the little guys. They are smaller than copepods, triangular in shape (similar to a snail), moves faster than a snail...

So, my tank is fairly new. I've got a couple clowns, three damsels, and two firefish. Had a little spike of ammonia when I added the firefish, but its settled now, and now I'm trying to establish my refugium. So far, I've got a few pieces of live rock in there and from what I can see, some...

Just seeded an above display refugium and i noticed a very large critter. After doing a bit of research i figured that it is an isopod but I am having problems determining if it is a bad one or not. Anyone know?

So I have a seperate tank next to my DT filled with tons of pods. I usually take one nice rock out of the DT and place it in the refugium for about a week. This week before I put the rock back in the DT i noticed tons of hydroids floating around the refugium and attached to the glass. Is my...

So as the title suggests, I appear to be having some issues with my current amphipod population in my tank (30 gallon). Now I've done quite a bit of research about zoa-eating amphipods, and though it appears especially rare, I was able to find a few instances where others have had similar...

Okay! First of all I dont know where to post questions or anything so im doing it here. I have a few basic questions. Do I have to introduce pods via bottle into my tank to have them or do they just show up? I bought "live rock" from my local fish store but the rock itself was just sitting in a...
