[MENTION=7870]CJR[/MENTION] do u have a sump with cheato? That's were you would typically see the pods. On the walls of the sump U'll see them, if ur display glass is spotless, u won't see that much, especially if u have fish like wrasse or dragonet or pipe fish cuz they pick them off the glass. Having a clean tank doesn't nesserilly means it's negative for other inhabitants. Pod population is self regulating depending on available food supply(not nutrients directly, but indirectly). They feed off Detritus and algae. If u ever put live rocks in or even snails, u already have a starter. Dosing phyto will surely increase their population but gotta take nutrient levels into consideration. U could buy some from me as a "booster" and phyto from me if it makes u feel better about it, but I'm trying to save u the money
