Aqua medic sells a plankton reactor which is fairly affordable - I've ordered one without the light to start culturing pods before I buy a Mandarin Dragonet. They describe a setup in the manual where you can use two of these reactors (one with the light) and a couple of dosing pumps to fully...

Found little isopod-looking guys in my Chaeto as well as on my live rock. They seem to come out at night. They look too big to be copepods... so what are they? Should I be worried?

I suspect that there is a worm-like parasite residing inside the mouth of my banggai cardinal fish. The fish is quite small and has refrained from eating for several days, even rejecting frozen foods. After a brief description to the AI model, it suggested that the parasite could possibly be a...

Hello Reef2reef, I have always wanted a mandarin dragonet, but I have yet to buy one because my tank might not have a stable enough copepods population. My DT is 80 gallons, while my sump is 11 gallons. At night, numerous amphipods crawl on the sandbed and rocks. Homeowners of the tank is as...

I recently started a Tisbe pod culture and am following a few guides on r2r as well as on youtube, but I'm starting to wonder whether I even got any live pods? I've got two cultures going each in a 1.7l jar, both have airline tubes connected to them at 1.025 salinity. I feed phyto once every...

I have a pad in my refugium I use to prevent stuff from going into the tank and every week or so I like to clean it so I get consistent behavior from my skimmer and floss roller. Its heavily populated by copepods and amphipods in the time its in the tank and I hate killing them all when I hose...

I'm planning on culturing both phyto and copepods to dose into my 20 gallon cube tank and i was wondering if i could get both a mandarin goby and a 2 spot goby to it. I already have a clownfish, tailspot blenny, yellow clown goby, and banggai cardinal. None of these fish usually hang around the...

as i start my journey into culturing live foods: phyto,pods,mysis, etc. i’d love to see some of your tanks & get ideas as to how i could go about this. also what’s your favorite “live food” to culture? Thanks!

Hi everyone, need your help on this. What is this ? Is it copepods ? If not, what is it? Good or bad ? Should I be worried

Happy thanksgiving, I was just wondering. To those of you who culture copepods, what pods do you culture and what do you feed these cultures? Right now I'm only feeding tetraselmis phytoplankton and I'd like to increase my yield every week. I read that other types of foods can help.

Now that we have your attention- check out our video under the microscope of a copepod pooping ;) :rolling-on-the-floor-laughing: What goes in..... must come out.... Due to the fact that phytoplankton removes CO2 from the atmosphere and copepods eat this phytoplankton, these pods are...

Hello. I am wondering If I should buy this it is very cheap, but will this be able to culture my 90 gallon tank with copepods, so my mandarin will be able to get fed?

Hello everyone, I’ve seen these little white critters all over my system and they are EVERYWHERE. I want to think they’re a type of copepod but I’m not entirely certain. I tried my best to get a good picture. Thanks for any identification!

So my 23 gallon frag tank has been super cloudy the past 6 days and I’ve tried almost everything under the books to get it clear. Frag tank is a Red Sea 350 V3 sump; I broke the baffles down. I run carbon, Sera Crystal clear media on a Sicce whale canister. I have a Nero 3 and a Tunze nano...

My tank is fallow right now and with no fish around, I decide to focus more on the tiny things around the tank. I am seeing 3 creatures that I am not sure what they are. Whatever they are they are all over my tank, one grain of sand can have around 6 (yellow line) every spot you see in the sand...

For those living on the California coast, have you ever caught any wild Tigriopus Californicus to feed to your tank? I was exploring the tide pools between Malibu and Ventura and saw pools with hundreds of thousands of orange pods. It’s pretty tempting right now to try going back to see if I can...

I don’t know if I want to go through the trouble of cultivating or buying phytoplankton, but I want to cultivate copepods. I wondered if there’s any dried food they will eat or an easier/cheap alternative?

I'm cycling with dry rock, and when that's over, I'll seed my tank with copepods in a bottle. Should I invest in live phytoplankton to feed the copepods and make them reproduce faster, or is dead phytoplankton like EasyReefs EasyBooster gonna do just fine? If I buy cheaper, dead, phytoplankton...

So I setup a DIY copepod culture to try to keep a supply of pods around to dose my new tank. I have a 2 Liter Erlenmeyer flask w/stopper hooked up to a air pump. I added a jar of Tig pods f/algae barn and have added some ocean magik to tint the water. My water is not quite as dark as some of...

i've found something interesting, so this is my refugium, i stuffed it with a lot of macroalgae, but since the water flow is lacking, there was intense bloom of cyanobacteria (red slime algae), almost give up on this tank until i put some dead fish there, which a lot of copepods feed into it...
