Default In search of bristleworms, pods, ministars, etc.

(I posted this on RC also. . . )

As I rebuilt the reef at Columbine this weekend, something became glaringly apparent to me while moving around 200 lbs of rock--I didn't see a single bristleworm and only a scant pod or two all day. I used to see, oh, about a hundred or more bristleworms each time I would feed and pods galore. A salinity crash/flood, scant feeding, and sloppy maintenance lately have taken their toll, I guess.

Does anyone have an abundance of these and can spare a few or a dozen or a million? I re-aquascaped and plumbed in a 45 gallon remote sump with more LR, and I could use a "recharge" of any microfauna possible. I looked at IPSF.com, but something in me thinks it is a bit silly to pay $30 plus shipping for a dozen worms. I used to find that many clinging to the carbon bag in the sump.

I can pay for them, trade a (slight) few items for them, or shovel your driveway next time it snows.

Anyone? Cheers.

Let me know if you dont get enough of these within the next few weeks, I can definately re-supply (probably be hitting Reef Ed)

go figure, high nutrient system = high biodiversity... worms and pods are an easy fix!
