To Pod or Not To Pod: Are you using live food to nourish your tank?

Fresh macro from the refugium.

I feed live blackworms every morning in addition to my regular twice daily frozen food regimen.

As for pods and Phyto. I dose Phyto every couple of nights, probably every other day or so. I get Pods delivered once a month, so they're constantly being replenished for my Mandarins and Leopard Wrasse.

I have a mandarin drag so I have no choice. But pods are great no matter if you have one or not.

Although I STILL don't have a tank running, the plan is to have pods. Both as food for the fishies I plan to add and as a part of the CUC. As I recall (I'm too lazy to look it up), they feast on either diatoms or dinos (I think it's dinos). IMO, they're just flat out a good part of our ecosystems.

I do the live blackworms as well. I order from Eastern Aquatics because they always seem to be in stock.

Right now, I feed dry pellets as well as dehydrated mealworms (I grow mealworms for my fw tanks). I'd like to culture phyto as well as daphnia. I think it'd be neat to have them grow in a culture in my ato so they'd be dosed daily. All I'd have to do is keep it stirred with an air pump and feed it. Thoughts?
