That’s what we love to hear. However I must point out that we sell Tigriopus as our competitor has trademarked the term you used lol.
I won’t speak ill of a competitor, but I will speak well of ourselves. Please check us out at www.reefbysteele.com as we offer the best value with quality products and reasonable prices. Our recommendation for a new tank would be our Blended Pod Buffet which has Tigriopus, Tisbe and Apocyclops. These along with our Harpa which can be added by getting the Majectic Pod Buffet (it is a double so only have to by 1/2 the size. As these can come in and establish colonies as mentioned above.
I have gotten pods of varying types from both Reef By Steele as well as Algae Barn. Both are good, but I will say that I think you get a bit more from Reef By Steele, as well on the phytoplankton.
Wow thanks for the shout out. We strive to please.
Thanks, this was super helpful, I have a 20g AIO, and I only have a pair of clowns and an orchid Dottyback, and was not planning on adding more.
Any time
8 Oz blended or 8 Oz majestic and dose 20 ml of Phyto buffet or 10 of the extreme per day. 32 Oz Regular or 16 Oz extreme will last 47 days. Refrigerate, shake daily before dosing the Phyto. Add the pods at least an hour after lights out so they can settle in without creating a feeding frenzy.
Wow, gotta get @Ocean_Queenie in this as these comments make her smile and feel all warm and fuzzy!
Thanks, this is really helpful, I’ll definitely be buying some pods. But I do have some more questions. What’s the difference between the blended, and majestic pods. And, I’m guessing I’ll constantly have to dose the phytoplankton?
Blended pods are at our standard density which is nice and dense, the Majestic of the same size is made with 2x the density of pods for example a 32 Oz Majestic has basically the same amount of the three pods as the 32 blended regular in 16 Oz of the bottle and then topped off with 16 Oz of our double density Harpa pods (Tisbe cousins only smaller) so you get roughly the same number of pods you would get in a 1/2 gallon regular but 50% are the Harpa. So twice the pods in same size bottle and 4 species vs 3 and we add rotifers to the majestic.
Sorry to keep asking questions, but since you add the rotifers to the majestic bottle, do you dose the phyto any differently?
No. They will eat nuisance algae, bacteria etc in a reef tank as well.
You might be in a 2 day ground zone and if so we have really high success rates. If not I can reach out as the difference between ground and 2 day isn’t as expensive as other areas so I can figure it and just bill the difference.
