    So I was staring at my my tank and refugium pretty much like I do every night before bed :) and behold in my refugium I have bubbles coming up from the mud.

    I also have a whole lot of little critters running around the alage that look like specs of sand.

    Amazing feeling it all coming alive and starting to work. I checked my NO2 levels and they are zero.

    I would think it's the nitrates breaking down because i've had it running now for more than a month.

    Do I need to feed the pods anything or will they find enough with all the wastes?
