zooplankton

I have a 25 gallon salt water tank and am new to this. I am hoping to get some insight. We did a fishless cycle for a month, tested nitrate, nitrite, ammonia, phosphate, calcium, alkalinity and magnesium. Once all levels were good, we introduced two clown fish along with a few snaps and...

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...

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...

Now that we've had the Plank in production and shipping for over a year and Reef Jerky for almost as long, we'd love to hear from all of you about how and what you're feeding your tanks. We'd love to hear whether or not you use the Plank and/or Reef Jerky, (if no, why not?) and what you'd like...

I spot feed my corals Reef Roids and Zooplankton twice a week. I alternate weeks in feedings. Is this too much? I feel like broadcast feeding doesn’t really do much but maybe it’s just me.

I've been growing copepods for a while in a standalone tank and was wondering, what is the easiest live food to culture? I was thinking maybe Brine shrimp might be easiest but was wondering what people think.

I currently use 0.25ml of Julian sprungs marine snow once every two weeks and 1/8 of a 1/4 teaspoon of reef roids every week in my 15 gal, I’ve noticed many experienced reefers use phyto plankton specifically as this feeds zooplankton which in turn feed coral and copepods. Would I benefit from...

My LFS sells grass shrimp as feeders ($.25@). They are pretty hardy, and I expect that they will spawn in a marine setup. I don't want to raise them - they probably go through a half dozen different larval stages, each one with their own specific food requirement. BUT, if I were to put a few...
