Additional Information
Miscellaneous Information: I just picked up a bottle of Reef Nutrition Tigger-Pods from the LFS. I'm following the culturing guidelines presented in a recent CORAL magazine.
I set up 2 small containers and poured approximately have of the bottle into each one, added a small pinch of flake food, and will see what happens.
