Pod Hotel
- Thread starter Robzilla
- Start date
It's an ugly drill job but I didn't care since it was going to be hidden behind rocks anyway.

I found this article on breeding copepods, there was a similar method employed by someone using 5 gal buckets to breed tigger pods but I can't find the article now. It was the same basic setup though so you get the idea.

Let us know how the pod hotel works out please. I'd like to keep a few wrasse myself once my tank is more mature.

The ones that I've made for my tank and my son's tank look very much like Robzilla's.
I took one by my local LFS to get his input on it. He asked that I make some for him to sell in his shop.
So we've sold about a dozen of them thus far and we need to make some more.
This is what we've been calling the Grand Cope-a-Cabana. BTW, it's 8 inches long and the one in the photo still needs to have more holes drilled in it.:
This is the 4 inch version that I have in my tank:
Normally I flush them with saltwater, shake out the excess water then seed them with LFS bought pods. Place it in the back, behind the rock (out of sight) and let the little guys and gals do what comes naturally. We started our most recent tank during the first week of February. Added a Green Mandarin in mid May. The Wrasse and the Mandarin are still doing great even after such a short period of time.

That looks like a cool invention Ynot! If it were clear, it could be filled with chaeto or some other type of macro algae to double as a natural way to lower phosphate in the DT with controlled algae growth. And pods BOTH.
I'm real new to all this desire to "have it all" in limited space. UUGHH! I just need my sump & refugium already. (So I can rest my mind on where to grow me some macro algae
)
