Nice good to hear
For tigger pods in the US your LFS might sell Reef Nutrition pods, so you’ll save on postage. These are easy to culture and will be nom nom nom by all the planktivores in your tank. These probably won’t colonize your tank though, they’re big enough to interest all your planktivores and swim rather than hide on rocks, so get heavily predated on and get promptly wiped out. View as direct feed only.
For other commercial types (Tisbe, apocalypse pods, etc) then hit up algae barn. Many of these do better in aquariums and can readily colonize, you just will never see them unless on the glass and illuminated from the side by a flashlight. These are smaller, so less interest to your larger planktivores.
