Am I ready for pods?!

[adamizy]

What's up guys so my 57 has been running for about 6 weeks and looking good. I started from day 1 with live rock and live sand both from a established set up and cheato in the sump. As of now all I have are inverts no fish yet and I'm thinking if I can add some pods. I see some on my live rock and my cheato is pretty much taking up the whole fuge area. So you guys let me know what I can or should do!
Here's what I got

Since you used live rock you already have a population. They will increase in numbers as time goes on. Save the cash for something else.

Yea I had a feeling I don't need to buy them lol

If you keep fish that eat tons of pods you probably will need to purchase some here and there. Some such as mandarins can wipe out pods quickly in a smaller setup. Otherwise you should be fine going slowly.

If you already have them, you should be seeing them. Especially at night (use a flashlight.)

Can I ask where you got this tank??

 

[adamizy]

I bought the tank and stand from a member. The stand came black and I put a Formica laminate on it .

Looks nice. as said before if you plan on something that is a pod monster then add some every week to keep the population up can't really over do it with pods
