Unhappy no pods

Hey, my tank is very new, about 2 months. All of my rock was from an established aqu and so is my refuge sand. I have no pods at all. There are no fish in the tank, just coral. I know it will take a while to start produceing them, but im just wondering about a time frame. How long do you think it will take if i dont introduce them from a bottle? I would like to add some, but i am not able to find any brands that come with alot of pods in the bottle localy. can anyone suggest a good brand? I paid 15 bucks for a bottle of trigger pods and there was only about 30 in it. I put it in a month ago and havent seen any pods or fauna in my LS or LR.

thanks
bobby

Have you been taking a peek at your tank at night?

Hmm. Nothing showed up in my tank for a while either. I had the tiny white "bugs" (copepods) on the glass, but didn't see much else. I ended up ordering a detritivore kit from Inland Aquatics - they're in Indiana, I think. Anyway, they also have stuff like gammarus shrimp (amphipods), mysys shrimp and copepods that they sell individually, not as part of the kit.

Try www.inlandaquatics.com
