I understand that the algae will die off but I currently have a section in my sump filled with live rock and chaeto. I was figuring the chaeto would die off but to keep the rock area mainly for pod production for the fish.
Is that not feasible if you do not have any algae for the pods to eat?
I may be wrong here, but i would suggest against it all together. This area will become a sink for detritus. Also, with vodka/mb7 dosing you will find that you can feed your tank WAY more so pods for the fish should not be a big concern (unless you got some mandarins or other fish that rely on pods).
But let the master answer ... sunny watcha think??
