Phytoplankton & amphipods

[machome79]

Hello reefers!

I was recently watching a tour of top shelf aquatics. I'm considering using there amphipods and phytoplankton. Have any of you out there ever used it and what was your experience with it?
I used to buy copepods and phytoplankton from aquarium depot. There pods were huge and repruced in my tank well. But unfortunately I think they shut down because online they only sell posters now. Algaebarn and southwest aquaculture have been also used but want a little more bang for my buck.

I’m sure it’s a good source
Many on this site use Algae Barn

Have a look down in the sponsor forums. Many hobbyists sell pods and phyto for much less then those "big box" stores.

@hollback or @Dinkins Aquatic Gardens for pods, and @Eldredge for the best phyto on the market.

Forgot about @Jay'sReefBugs for pods. I have ordered a couple times from him. Also a great guy to do business with.
