I do see pods on the live rock from time to time, but I don't keep mandarins or any pod eating animals, so I can't really say the pods population is enough to support them if I decided to keep one or two.

Before going BB, I also use sandbed. my first tank use DSB, the second tank use SSB, this is my third tank, it's BB and I find it quite easy to maintain. In the past, I ran GFO, Biopellet, Zeovit, refugium, ATS, etc, but now I think sufficient live rock, a good protein skimmer and maybe an additional (soon to be added) filter sock will be enough. But then again, the tank is still young, we'll see how thing goes in the long run.

Ross33, Touring and MBMAX, I am glad there are people out there who also like BB reef tanks.
