Algae Barn Pods

I ordered pods and phyto from podyourreef! So its 100% safe to just dump them in? I dont need to worry about hitchhikers or anything nasty right?
I've always dumped them right in.. I've never noticed any hitchhikers of any kind...
Company says they used fresh rodi salt water in the packs
 
Got my Tisbe pods in from podyourreef. First time buying pods ever so not sure what is alot and what is not. Mine looked like the pics above. It deffinitely was not just water in a bag. I saw plenty little guys swimming around but i hope there was a bunch more i could not see. I refilled the bag with tank water, added some phyto, and left the cap off. Hopefully there will be more pods in a week or two like posted above!
Give the pouch a week or 2 and it will be packed full..
I've never had luck with the tiger pods re populating.. but I currently have 2 pouches of tisbe currently re populating the pouches.. and I have an order driving today too... pods galore lol

Awesome! I hope my tank can establish a nice little population from the one order. I only have a pair of clowns in the tank so nothing actively hunting them! Im mainly just looking for nice diversity of life in my new tank...
 
I ordered pods from member @hollback on here. Made any order from algae barn look non existent. Will only purchase froM him again.

I honestly hope they get it sorted. Wonderful customer service but sadly both of my orders have been pretty empty.
 
Mr Hollback needs to hire some part-time help to keep up with the orders he will be receiving. Algae Barn will soon be buying from him...

Outstanding. I feel so partial to algae pods. But they just grew too fast to keep up it seems ? Catch UP AB!

Make sure you refill the pod bags with tank water and leave the cap off. Add some phyto or fish food. 2 weeks later i had a bunch more i just added to the tank again!
 
I received a order from @AlgaeBarn a week or so ago and put it in my tank, a week or so later I need to buy a Mandarin to keep the pod count down, all I did was add 75 percent to my DT and the rest to my sump with rock in it and feed algae. I feel that with any company some people will have good experiences and others not so good. Hopefully it works out for everyone.

I'm glad to have been able to help and share my positive experiences with the company with other reefers.. podyourreef.com is an amazing and honest company
 
I order 2 bottles of Tisbe pods from algae barn and I’m satisfied so far. Dumped both bottles in my refugium and I can see some pods on the glass. I enjoyed the free gift of the baby brine shrimp, was fun watch Fish get excited for that. On that note I gave podyourreef a try and ordered 3 bottles Tisbe pods I’ll keep you posted. Dustin
 
I ordered from AlgaeBarn and I for sure received pods that were alive, but I haven’t seen any since. I’ve since ordered from PodYourReef to compare the two.
 
Have been on and off contact from algae barn. Offered to send me another order try it again.a while later messaged them back. Theyre busy moving.

Nothing since.
