trigger pods
I bought a bottle of trigger pods and put them in my refugium. There is live sand & live rock as well.
Next day, I cant find a single pod in the fuge…are they still in there? I heard that they reproduce very fast but how long does it usually take for the population to grow? A few days have passed and I still don’t see a single one… Any reason for this? Current Aquarium(s) Description: 80 Gal.

Re: trigger pods
They have most likely crawled into the holes in the rock and down into the sand.
It may take a while before you actually start seeing a lot of pods. Have you looked after lights out with a small light?You'll generaly see more at night.

Do pods not like light? How much light is needed for a refugium? I only have about 30 watts of light in there. Since that’s not strong, I keep it on 24/7. Current Aquarium(s) Description: 80 Gal.

Re: trigger pods
Most pods are actually nocternal.But some will be visiable with the lights on when you have a big population.

Re: trigger pods
You don't need a lot of light for a fuge. I use a simple strip light normal output fluorescent bulb on mine. Algae will grow pretty much under any light conditions. It will take a bit for the pod population to grow large enough for you to notice it, but adding a bottle of Tigger Pods is a good way to jump start it.
