Pod production

[The Saltman]

Hi guys,

Can anyone recommend a small in tank fuge for pod production. I would even consider making one if anyone has any ideas or suggestions

Take a tank have an input section then bubble trap baffles then live sand bed section for micro algae another set of baffles then return water section drill for return
Use a pump to pump water from display to the above mentioned
tank input side low flow
Now if you can mount this tank above your display tank you can gravity feed back into the display.
If not then do the reverse have an overflow feed the input section then have a pump return water to main display.
The gravity feed works better because you dont risk killing pods with the pump.
Now on my 100 gallon reef my fuge is mounted below the display but I still get great pod return

Not an in-tank fuge but an alternative with the same goal in mind.

WoW I never thought about mobile pod stations !!!!!!!
Thats an awesome idea.
Wish I thought of about that one.
Heck Im making 2 or 3 to put in my 100 gallon and in my 32 gallon fuge to start populating so when my 300 gallon build is done and cycled I can just drop them in.
Good looking out A Sea K

No problem. They're easy enough to make and you can easily hide them behind the rockwork.
