if you have LR, i'm sure you already have them... just not easy to see them. IMO, don't purchase pods online, why spend money when you might already have them?

Squidworth, spongebob here lol. Anyways have you looked for the pods in your tank? Turn off your lights and about an hour after get a flashlight and look around, it takes a few minutes then out of the corner of your eye you may see pods. I too have a 75, and feel I have not enough pods---if you do find a good site to add them post back, and let me know how it went.

do you guys think that fish(any kind, not mandarin or other pod eating fish) has effect on the amount of pod u have in ur tank?

In my opinion if you have quality LR your pod population will be adaquate if there are no predators to overly feast on them. Another good source is to trade LS or get LS from a well established system....or even talk a trusted LFS out of some rubble/crud from the bottom of tanks used to cure LR.....these sources can boost pod populations and are way cheaper than buying on-line. If you have predators that feed heavily on your pods then look into developing a refugium where populations can renew with predators......which will provide a constant source.
