You can add some rock rubble and macroalgae from your main tank to the fuge; the pods will travel with them. ;)

I ordered 3 "Trio-Pack"s for my 120... so 10 in total, because they come with a bonus juvenile. I'll let you know how the shipment works out when it comes in. ;)

J & L sells them under the product name 'Tigger pods'. They probably say that they're backordered, but mine shipped out in less than 24h anyway, so that's no big deal.

You made sure to keep the new water mixing with a heater and powerheads in it for 24 hours so it would be oxygenated, thoroughly mixed and matched in temperature, right?
