copedpods

Just wanted to share with anyone here : So far I have had this box running since the end of rap (so I guess about 3-4 weeks ?) it has grown ISO , Tet, Nanno, and rodo with ease and has extremely fast growth to where you can harvest every few days with all these strains (due to the light and...

I am currently 6 weeks in to culturing copepods for the purpose of having a BIOTA mandarin pair (110 gallon tank). I have 5 one gallon cultures going at various stages but am waiting another week or two before I start harvesting. In addition to the pod cultures I also have also been culturing 3...

I set this tank up in January. Is this normal getting this amount of pods in 5-6 months? Things I did, I used pods/phyto from algae barn right after the tank cycle was complete. Got the refugium up and running on month 2. And during the initial tank set up. After the cycle of course. I also got...

I have a small scale phyto setup growing tetraselmis in two 2000ml beakers. I harvested half of the beaker volume this week and instead of putting the phyto into bottles I dosed my 140 gallon tank with 2000ml of freshly harvested phyto. To give phyto time to circulate I turned off my skimmer...

Really happy that small businesses are starting up again in this field of hobby. Wish ive seen this post before i got my berghias. I could have tried getting it from you and could be cheaper too. In any case happy to know you guys are here.

I threw around this idea way back before I setup my reef. I have a 16-gallon reef 11 months old loaded with coral. I set up some copepod breeding jars to dose the aquarium. I feed the copepods live phyto there are a lot of tutorials online on setting up copepod cultures. I really want a Green...

I can't find any forums with this answer, I have a friend asking if he can add one of his live rocks that has been established for over a year now with copepods to a new tank under two months. The new tank is a 32 gal that has been doing great, main question is how long should he acclimate his...

I'm currently cycling my first tank, and somehow gaslit myself into think the nitrogen cycle was measured in days not weeks. I have an order of ecopods and oceanmagik coming from AlgaeBarn to develop the plankton population in the tank post cycle but it will arrive way before the nitrogen cycle...

Calling all Copepod culturing experts! I have done some research and I want to start culturing copepods, not only to feed my fish but also just to challenge myself and try something new that won’t break the bank. I want to culture them from the beginning so including culturing phytoplankton by...

Hey everyone! Has anyone experimented with using a Ziss Brine Shrimp Hatchery to culture Copepods or phytoplankton? I feel like it would be super convenient the way it’s made!

Hey guys just a quick question. Monthly, I add @AlgaeBarn ecopods. A couple of months ago I used one shipment of the Galaxy pod mix. Today while feeding my corals, I noticed in my chaeto overgrowth box these little (1/8 inch?) critters. I've looked around at some pictures but I can't seem to...

Hi everyone, I am new to the marine hobby and I’ve setup a 150g tank back home in India. I am in the USA traveling for a couple of weeks and I was wondering if anyone could give me some advise on Macro Algae and copepods. We don’t get these items in India hence I plan to buy live copepods and...

I ordered some fish about 2 weeks ago and the site I ordered from had a great deal on mandarins (we’ve wanted one for a long time now). I’m assuming it’s wild caught (yes, first mistake we know). We ordered some copepods at the same time to beef up the tank’s supply. We knew we’d have to train...

Hi, I’m trying to identify a tiny worm. I added some live copepods and 1hour later my tank is covered in thousands of these tiny white worms. I’ve tried to get some good microscope pictures so maybe you could help me! Thanks!

Hi, my aquarium's cycle seems to be nearing its end as the nitrites fall and the nitrates rise, and I'm looking into adding copepods & other small critters to my refugium and DT because I hear they're useful, especially since algae is beginning to grow on the rocks. Where do I buy from however...

Tank looks totally normal and healthy and I found found these guys all over the glass and free floating. Only difference from yesterday is that I got two new pieces of coral. My tank is only a few months old and I’ve never seen or added pods before. Can I get a mandarin goby to help eat them?
