Should I buy pods?

[fahadahmed]

I don't have a refugium and have about 100lbs of rock. I have some cocopods in my tank as I see them at night.

Is it beneficial to add more from time to time? Which kind of pods should I add? Where to get them from?

I currently have, Naso Tang (lousy eater), powder brown, Percula Clowns, fire fish and scooter blenny.

Thanks.

Here is a really good podcast on copepods and it is free. http://www.talkingreef.com/forums/podcast-episodes/2140-copepods-podcast-episode-69-a.html Despite the name podcast you don't have to have an iPod to listen you can download it to your computer and listen there.

There's a good refugium "recharge" kit here: <http://www.inlandaquatics.com/prod/prod_detrit.html>

You can mix and match for creatures you may not want.

Do I need copepods for what I have in my tank? Who benefits from it?

I have xenia, torch, hammer, colt and mushrooms, along with the fish mentioned above.

The scooter blenny really needs a good supply of pods.

Is blenny the only one who needs it or makes use out of it?

should I buy any more ateable live critters that others can make use out of?
