Concerned that even with the 125, I'm not going to have enough/good enough pod production for a big mandarin and other natural predators. I've been pretty clueless on cope/amphipods. Generally was just a "there's a bunch in the rubble in sump/DT". Over time they seem to have drastically fallen off. Primarily to my melanarus I thought and who knows what else. I figured just stuff 125 refugium full of chaeto/caulerpa and rubble as well as in my other tanks. (Build some pod condo's of rubble/caulerpa and occasionally shake them off in the big DT). I think to produce good numbers that might take too long esp with ongoing predation in DT. (I had no clue about feeding phyto to encourage more growth?)
This brought me to growing my own in spare tanks (and the phyto to feed them?). So I saw a little bit online and trying to learn on my own, but was looking for someone that could verbally go over it and possibly have samples I could get started with.
