'pods in sump

[Billy]

My sump\fuge is teeming with all kinds of pods, some of them look
darn near big enough to start attacking hermit crabs. Question is,
whats the best way to "harvest" them, and get them into the display
tank where they can become food for the mandarin and wrasse?

I would use a very fine net (ie a brine shrimp net), or just let them be
and the little babies will go through the pump and back up into the tank.

Some keep a sponge in the refugium, and once a week they'll
take that sponge and put it in the display, shaking it out
well. Odds are the pods wouldn't last long at all in that
application as they can't scurry into the rockwork fast
enough.

However, as Kim suggested, the pods will make their way into
your tank via the plumbing.

As Kim and Marc stated.
If your refugium on top or higher than your main tank, the return water
should carry those pod back by gravity feed to the main tank.

If the plumping as Kim stated that are attach to a water pump, it may get
chop / dice.

Tear out a gold ball sized chunk of cheeto and throw it in the display
tank every other day.

Works WONDERS!!
