Looking for Chaeto & Copepods

[Drew1600]

Greetings Reefers

I am trying to find some chaeto and live copepods, if anyone happens to have any for sale? From Kansas as far as shipping goes.

Please PM me if you have either for sale, I greatly appreciate it! Happy reefing!

Our sponsor ALGAE BARN can fix you up

They are sold out atm ://

 

[Drew1600]

Of Chaeto atleast

They are sold out atm ://

Sold out every single time I check. Even had a sponsored ad in my Facebook yesterday that said they have Macro algae back in stock and immediately checked to no avail.

Likewise!! Needing some chateo, have had an empty fuge for about a month now :/

I just ordered from RUSALTY, I have not received it yet so I can’t comment on quality

I have an brand new empty Tunze 3181 Algae reactor running for about a week now and I'm really itching to get some chaeto in there, so I feel your pain.

 

[Drew1600]

I will have to check out RUSALTY, thank you for the idea!!

Check Ebay.

what a way to capitalize on AB's out of stock status. $40 for golf ball size.......I'll wait for AlgaeBarn

 

[Drew1600]

Jeez!! What about suitable Chaeto alternatives?

 

[mdb_talon]

If you have local reef clubs check there. At least in my area people most likely just going to give you a handful. Pods may be a little harder.

 

[Drew1600]

The nearest club is a 4-5 hour drive unfortunately.. thats why I always turn to Reef2Reef.

 

[Drew1600]

I would also be more than happy to pay if anyone were willing to ship a handful?

 

[ThePurple12]

Seriously, you can buy it on Ebay!

 

[Drew1600]

The only thing I worry about is quality control but I will give it a look, thank yoi!

 

[Viva'sReef]

I'm looking for that clean Chaeto. I know i could get some from random reefers near me for free most likely but I'd rather wait

 

[Drew1600]

Is is possible to dip new chaeto upon arrival, just in case? Or is a good rinse/pick through sufficient?

 

[Viva'sReef]

This was said earlier in a different thread and I have no intention of QTing Chaeto for 45 days. I'd rather get the clean stuff

There is no such thing as an effective 7 day plant/invert quarantine - either rinse the subject off really well with fresh mixed seawater and hope of the best or hold it in a fishless system for 45 days. The big issue is Neobenedenia fluke eggs - they have sticky tendrils, and grab onto everything. Just one eggs can start an active disease in your fish if moved over with an invert or plant.
