Best source of pods?

A 25g may not be large enough to support pod feed source for dragonet. You can get these raised to feed on frozen foods, which would be better.

My LFS friendo says the captive bred Dragonets which have been raised on live food come in for about two weeks a year in early November, they're about double the price and sell pretty much immediately.
I think one day I'll make myself a Sump for my all in one tank Waterbox.
I wouldn't necessarily know the most optimal way to organize it, but really all I want is a fuge and extra water volume.

to those who say get frags, do the pods not die off when you dip your frags? curious.

Either some must stay hidden and survive, or there must be eggs that make it through. I never added amphipods but have them in abundance so am assuming this must’ve been the case.

But I was recently thinking of setting up a jar I modified to culture phyto, to instead house a copepod culture.
The only way I could culture phyto is if I bought it along with the Phyto fertilizer on eBay.
But I could just buy the phyto, fill the jar with salt water, aerate it and dose phyto to grow the pods, then dose the copepods to my tank.

Check out Poseidon Reef Systems, they have phyto and pod cultivation kits.

I like jaysreefbugs. He has a website and he's on here. I ordered two bottles from him and my tank is littered with pods currently albeit its running fallow

Lol one of the benefits of fallow. My tank pod population went nuts ha.
