Favorite copepods product?

[Clo]

Where do you guys prefer to order your copepods?

I've bought from a R2R seller a few times with great success. I know AlgaeBarn is popular too.
But just wanted to see what options I had since no one local to me is selling

EBay is the best friend here. I used to had a subscription for once a week it was coming.

I’ve been pleased with the Reef Nutrition tigger and apex pods.

I get mine from Reef Nutrition

Pod Your Reef it's local to me though so I'm maybe biased. It's run by a Dr. that works at the local university.

Ebay is a great source. If you're looking more main stream Reed Maricultre/ Reef Nutrition have great products as well

Been ordering from Hollback for over a year.

Use AlgaeBarn and am happy with them in my BioCube.

I switched to ReefNutrition for my IM Lagoon I started up and they are propagating noticeably better in it. Could be lots of other factors but take it for what’s it worth.

I'll second Hollback. I have ordered a few times from him with another shipment coming this week. I'm going to use this shipment to start my own culture with his pods.

I'm culturing my own tisbee at the moment so I thought why not, lets culture bigger bods also

AlgaeBarn has my vote,

 

[HeyLookItsCaps]

PodYourReef is my favorite along with AlgaeBarn, they both communicate with me directly and are very pleasant to work with, not someone behind some computer somewhere

He’s a great guy in general too, will pick up the phone and talk to you about phyto/pod taxonomy or theory like he’s got all the time in the world. Also 35 dollar par meter rental!

@hollback has the best bang for your buck. I’ve ordered from algae barn, pod your reef, and others. while they are fine you get more pods per dollar with Hollback. Plus he is very responsive if there is an issue.

I've wanted to culture myself but something has to give w/ my time and decided that's where my time has it's limit unfortunately. Good luck and if you have time should show a thread on how you did it.

Reef nutrition-hands down. They breed for the big shots public aquariums and aquaculture. On that side of things they are known as Reed Mariculture (same group).

That being said if anyone is a local to the Monterey area I’d happily just hook them up with tigger pods and show them how to breed them. They are great for feeding tanks but don’t really take off in a tank environment

This guy right here ^^.

Might have to look up @hollback when I need my next order.

I just discovered he's local to me. I guess I know where I'm going to stock up from.
