Buy come chaeto. I'm sure you can find someone in CT that could sell you a bunch, and it most likely will be teeming with pods.

What about adding some phytoplankton?

my 24 gallon is swarming with pods. They eat the phytoplankton and some are adult size. Alot were cleared out when I took my ocellaris clowns out of the 120 and put them in the 24. There is still a lot of pods on the sand. I read that you have live rock but you didn't say live sand. Thats where most pods come from..live sand. Do you have live sand?..if so then start adding a little plankton.

it was not live sand and i bought some chaeto didn't see any pods but i put some in my tank and my nano (the nano only has a few stars in it) and i got some DT's phyto for some of my coral. How long would it take to see a sizable population?The nano has nothing in it but the 40 has a pair of clowns
