djcerna December 30, 2006 Share December 30, 2006 My 65-gallon reef tank with 15 gal refugium has almost finished cycling. I would like to add some copepods and amphipods. Where do I get them? I will be adding two clowns and other smaller fish later. Just want to start establishing the system. Thanks, David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhoch December 30, 2006 Share December 30, 2006 Best way I know is to get some chaeto and/or sand from an established reef. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RudyCDX1 December 30, 2006 Share December 30, 2006 See if you can get one of our members to bring you some chaeto to the next WAMAS meeting. Presto! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisS December 30, 2006 Share December 30, 2006 My currently fish less nano is being overrun with all types of pods. I'd be happy to siphon up a few for you and bring them to the meeting. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dzekunoi January 5, 2007 Share January 5, 2007 sorry - just starting myself - what is cheasto (spelling?) Chaetomorpha (sp?) is a macro algea, also called spagetti algea. Looks like a bunch of wires. People keep it in their refugiums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gatortailale January 5, 2007 Share January 5, 2007 2nd more expensive way - buy some tigger pods - BRk stocks them. I just added some Sunday. Great product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevil January 5, 2007 Share January 5, 2007 2nd more expensive way - buy some tigger pods - BRk stocks them. I just added some Sunday. Great product. 2nd that - they are worth it. I bought a bottle and was trying to breed them in a 10 gallon tank, but then forgot to feed them... anyway - they exploded in population after just a few weeks.

Guest Bethesda_Jim January 8, 2007 Share January 8, 2007 Yeah, but how do you keep the population under control? Besides not feeding them that is. 2nd that - they are worth it.

hbh January 8, 2007 Share January 8, 2007 (edited) Djcerna, HI! I have Chaeto that I was just thinking that I needed to trade or pass on. We live in Gaithersburg and my DH works in Rockville. Would you still want some? Let me know. Edited January 8, 2007 by hbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevil January 8, 2007 Share January 8, 2007 Yeah, but how do you keep the population under control? Besides not feeding them that is. Not sure if you are kidding or not... I'm not sure "too many" pods would be a problem... but, just get a mandarin or other pod eating creature... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
