I have a 150 FOWLR and a 29 biocube. I the bicube I have a lobster, crabs, mushrooms, and polyps. I also have a bunch of aptaisia too. No fish. I took a clown out around months ago.

In my 29, there are tons of little pods that look like little shrimp. I see none of those in my 150.

Is there any issue moving some sand and small piece of rock to the 150 to maybe get some of those pods and more life in the 150?

One other note, the live rock in my 29 came from a LFS. The LR in the 150 was dry pukani and I never seeded it with any LR.

The 29 has been up for around 3 years. The 150 around 3 years too but the LR only 18 months. I had bioballs first.

Thanks

Mike

you can try that what i did with my wifes 29g is when cleaned out the filter sock from my 75g i would pick out the pod and drop them in her tank know she has a good population for pods. what do you have in 150 it is agood chance the pods are there justin smaller numbers as being eaten by the fish
