You don't have to.

As Salty says, you don't have to unless you have fish that specifically need them like mandys. They don't hurt anything and they do help a little but I wouldn't consider them part of the clean up crew. I do add them to my tank about once a month but I have 2 mandarins a 6 line, and a copperband. Even though everything eats frozen and blackworms they love to graze all day on the pods. My tank is just loaded with them but I restock just to keep the numbers up.

I hear they are the key to self sufficiency in a marine aquarium! Funny been 20 years since I have gotten back into a passion I used to be at the top of the game the Albert theil and love the advances now it's like crack again I can't get enough but have a passion for the tank taking care of its self! Watched tanked and remembered when I did the same stuff for Marine Warehouse in Tampa before it was a big deal! Now this awesome community does things back then i only dreamed of! Can't wait to read more, learn more and for tomorrow!
I like diversity the old school way myself. Most of that stuff will come in with chato macros and corals. But adding is not a bad thing. But not a need break the bank

Wrasses LOVE pods! Mine hunt all day, flipping over small chipped off rock pieces with their snouts. They're also good to have in your sump to help with detritus.
