Ok, I have done some research and found that just having the live rock rubble, macroalgae and sand in the fuge is not enough to really get your pods to thrive. So, it appears that if I want the amphipods to really thrive I have to add ULVA (sea lettuce) macro to the fuge. Floats on the top and apparently the pods love to eat it and live in it.
I will post a pic when it comes, but right now I have 300+ amphipods for my tank and seems after about a week the are gone. Hope this addition helps.![](/forums/proxy.php?image=http%3A%2F%2Fi139.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fq290%2Fcrduncan7398%2Falgae%2FSea-Lettuce-with-green-pod.jpg&hash=bc9374dd8ab576232951999875ae5cda)
