Default Podmeisters! How to grow 'em?

I keep adding pods and feeding phyto but they are gone after a day or so. No skimmer and nothing yet that should eat them, any suggestions?

A refugium helps as well as lots of established live rock with little holes in them.

maybe the pods are hiding? They're good at that.

About 3 weeks now, third bottle of pods now (I checked that they are still moving) and keeping the phyto in the fridge

I was doing the same thing with Tigger pods and saw the same thing as you, until one night the lights went out and a huge swarm emerged from the rocks! There was probably 50-100 of them in my little 12 G fluval! my clowns cut 'em down pretty fast!

I tried but no such luck and the water quality is getting a little low with the skimmer off.
