I use that pic as an example of what not to buy at the LFS... his pour little "ribs"! This guy was always out front swimming wih the foxface. He ate frozen so maybe he didn't care so much about hunting.

After QT should I move her to my fuge for a jump start or into the DT to start hunting ?
With 200 lbs of mature live rock and nothing else eating pods I would hope there is plenty in there but I really do not see them all over the glass at night in the DT.
I have a spare 10g and was reading on how to bread tigger pods. Is it worthwhile? At $25 a bottle and a 35 minute drive to two turtles it is getting old. I have dumped at least 6 bags of reef pods from here into the fuge in the last 4 months or so.

Yes I do have LR in the QT and also put a chunk of my chaeto in a small tupperware container with a peice of rock on it as well as some in my HOB filter. I did also dump a bottle of tigger pods in it so it is more like a small home not a QT lol.
I Qt everything and will not take a chance.
