Like the title says, I'm pretty sure I just killed off all my pods 
I noticed tonight durring a water change that 2 new frags I purchased about a week ago had red bug so of course I run and go get the Bayer pesticide. I premixed the Bayer with old water from the water change, grab the frag off the rack with my tongs and put it into the Bayer water and reached right back into the tank with the same tongs that dipped about a half inch into the Bayer water and grabbed the second frag like a numb skull...
I immediately ran and grabbed some GAC threw it in a mesh bag and tossed it in the water. Fast forward 2 hours and there's pods floating around everywhere
It's only a 20g tank so that small amount has done some damage. Hopefully the addition of the GAC might save a few but I'm not holding my breath.
Honestly I'm not so worried about the pod population, I'm more worried about the die off causing a nitrate spike. I've been battling hair algae and pretty sure this is gonna set me back a bit...
