My tank has been up and running for about 7 months now, with LR being in there since the beginning. I did see a few pods in there, but I completely redid my tank. I had to take the tank off the stand to fit the sump and fuge in (from the top). Since then, I haven't seen any.
Thanks Deb91...I went to Reefscavengers.com and found exactly what I was looking for.
And thanks to everyone else. I'm still kinda new, so all this advise is sinking in.

I agree--so it is a good idea to put some live rock rubble in the refugium.

I bought some chaeto for my new tank, and stupidly threw it into the water even before I had added the salt (rookie mistake). Immediately I saw pods start falling dead out of the chaeto, but I added salt and the pods returned and apparently survived. Sometimes I see a big one crawling around right away, and sometimes I have to stare for quite a while before I notice a tiny dot that could be detritus and is actually a pod.
Point is.... I bet there are pods in your chaeto, wether you see them or not. Dunk it in fresh water... you'll see them dying and falling out!!! jk.

If you have a friend that has an established tank, you can have him/her seed a rock or some sand for you. Get a cupful of sand from their tank and add it to yours. You can also, take one of your most porous rocks and put it in their tank for a few days.
You can also check to see if one of your local Reef Speciaty stores carry Reef Nutrition. You can buy a bottle of Tigger pods and add them to your sump.
This should do it.

I did get some Tigger pods, but they are not live. I got them for my blenny until the live stuff arrives (which should be tomorrow). Surprizingly, he doesn't mind the refridged stuff. Having a friend help would be great, but I havn't met anyone local that has a salt tank. I'm sure that there are, and I've put out feelers, but I haven't heard of anyone.
