Which pods and how many? First time adding to tank

[sanzz18]

Going to be setting up a fuge so will be ordering chaeto and pods. Which pods off of Algae Barns website should I order and how many? My tank is 180g total water volume in the system.

Hi there! Our most popular for seeding aquariums is Ecopods- our 4 species blend. It gives you the most variety of pods with different retrodictive cycles and that like to inhabit different areas of the tank/refugium such as the water column or crevasses in your rock. Typically we recommend 1 jar of pods per 25-30 gallons to really get the population going. Please DM us if you have any other questions or need help with anything else!

I've bought Ecopods, and Apocalypse Pods. Both very good (Ecopods is a mix of 4). But I would recommend Apocalypse pods at a minimum since they reproduce quickly.
I also recommend pouring the pods into a small container and "spot putting" them in good places (rocks/macro, etc).
So they stay safe, and away from fish and filtration

Apocalypse Pods do reproduce the fastest out of the bunch laying every 4-6 days!
