The site has been hit hard this week with orders, with a CFM show on Sunday the poor site has been purged of most items.
If you haven’t tried and are thinking about pulling the trigger on an order don’t worry the site will be reloaded with inventory on Thursday afternoon.
If you are wanting to order I do have a special for R2R members on phytoplankton and rotifers. Buy 1 set and regular price and get the second set half off. This coupon only applies to the 16 ounce and 32 ounce bottles. The gallon bags are expensive to ship via 2 day air. Code is R2R please have two sets in your cart at checkout.
As always if you want to see what you’d receive before ordering reach out and I’ll send a video of how things look.
Rotifers are our best sellers, everyone seems to love how many per bottle they get. Rotifers last 3 weeks in the fridge and the phytoplankton lasts 4 weeks. The phytoplankton will last longer but ideally you’ll want to feed in 4 weeks or less. There is more information coming on why I recommend feeding live phyto within 4 weeks.
Shipping happens Monday-Wednesday with UPS 2 day shipping. Same day shipping when orders are placed before 1pm MST. This Discount ends Wednesday 10/25/23 at 1pm MST.

The site has been updated for Monday shipping. If you're interested don't wait to long, last week sold-out extremely fast. I could put less pods or rotifers in each bottle to make things last longer but that isn't the way. 
Check out the reviews on the site, there have been a few from R2R customers.
Videos will come Sunday afternoon and more Monday morning maybe. If you want to start a rotifer colony, our rotifers are packed per bottle and you can take a 32 ounce bottle, use a 5 gallon bucket and feed for 2 days and have a colony rolling after that time. Rotifers are our number 1 seller, they will last 3 weeks inside your fridge.
Ive also left code R2R active, order any Phyto, rotifer, pod or combo bottle over $40 and get a Phyto/Rotifer combo for 50% off. Code runs till November 1st at 130pm MST. Great way to add a little extra to your order.
Add this to your cart once you've spent $40 and get 50% off this item only

Here’s a sample of an order going out today. You’ll notice the phyto isn’t a green color, it’s a blend that has more brown phyto than greens. All items are placed in the box and cold packs are used even in cooler weather to keep the phytoblend from being active. Ice packs are placed under and on the sides of phytoplankton and rotifer bottles then packed with the worst peanuts possible but are eco friendly and melt, yes they are starch peanuts, pod bottles that contain apocyclops are placed on top of the peanuts to avoid contact with ice packs.
Each order is boxed with an insulated liner, if your temps are on the extreme side below 20 and above 100 we will ship your order in a styrofoam container to ensure live arrival.

Here is what we took to Denver, having people give feedback while on products while we are there is always great. Most of the bottles we took back are Tisbe pods, which are hard to see compared to Apo and Tigrio.

Reef Legends is great! Been out of the game for about 4-5 years but back at it after my move to Texas. Have been searching and trying several different places for pods I landed with Reef Legend. My personal experience, Reef Legends has packed the most amount of pods and quality has been awesome. Product is great, pricing is good, shipping speed has been great, customer service and response time has been great! Definitely worth giving them a shot.

Another trade show down, getting a picture before setup has been a challenge. I didn’t get all the Phyto pictured, I did snag the box that was left over. The site will be loaded up tomorrow night. Two pod blends may go on sale when I get back. Tigrio pods are sold out for the week. With Thanksgiving on Thursday, all shipping will be done on Monday.
