Hello fellow saltines,
This might be a stupid question (or at least a newbie question) but how do people do water changes on their pod culture tanks? I know a lot of people keep pods in their sumps/fuges so maybe this problem isn't applicable but for people maintaining separate culture tanks how is this done without sucking up all the pods? I don't have a sump/fuge on my tank but I do have an extra 5g tank I want to culture either tiggers or apex pods but I have no idea how to do a water change without sucking them up. Is there a filter I can put over the siphon that will allow water to pass but leave behind the pods no matter their size or where they are in their cycle (adult, nauplii, etc.)? Or is there another way to do this like lure them all to one side of the tank so I can siphon from the other side?
