There is always room for more pods when raising seahorses. My 45 G is exploding with pelagic pods. You might want to try a green water culture for raising the pods. My 45 g and the fuge yours came out of are loaded with micro algae. I do add spirulina to the pod tank. Phyco is great but expensive. Dan Underwood from Seahorse Source has a number of different types of micro algae. I would wait until the end of seahorse breeding season to call him. He is up to his eyeballs raising seahorses right now.
