As a fellow reefer I love it when I'm cleaning my tank and I find a little water flea flitting across my hand. In the 80's when I was first in the hobby, either pods weren't available or at least the LFS that I visited in Omaha and Denver didn't promote them very well, but I had amphipods (Water Fleas lol) introduced through Florida live rock. Fast forward to 2021 when I got back into the hobby, and they were all the rage. I stocked my tanks with a blend of Amphipods and Copepods but found that it's pretty expensive to purchase everything you want every week, month etc. So I set out to culture my own. over time I kept increasing my vessel size and culturing skills. Then I started to sell some product here on R2R. As per their market place rules, once I determined that I was going to sell with consistency, I was considered a Vendor vs an occasional classified ad customer lol. So I sat down with my wife and we discussed it and agreed to pay for a sponsorship and see if I could make a little extra money.

With Sherry's support and encouragement we set out to determine what we could do to boost our business to cover the additional cost, without increasing our prices. I was in retail management for 14+ years and know there are two ways to increase profits, higher prices or higher volume. Since I recognize that it can get really expensive buying these products I'm determined to offer the greatest value possible. I was running into Phyto shortages for the pod production if I had a good week of orders so I upgraded to 6.8 gallon vessels vs the 5 gallon I had been using. Last week I finally had phyto for me to use after shipping and prepping the pods but barely and since many of our customers are already becoming repeat customers we knew we need to do something different. even if we sold out at this level it isn't enough to cover the added sponsorship expense after purchasing salt (takes a lot of salt), shipping supplies, shipping fees, etc. so we decided to step up our game. And that is how it came to life.

The phyto is growing like crazy. Copepods, amphipods, rotifers and brine shrimp all ready to go.

We just got our new labels. Check these out.

Soup’s almost done!!

 

[Reef By Steele]

With our highs exceeding 100 degrees this week I can’t guarantee live arrival with standard shipping. If you still want to order, I can ship in an iced and insulated box for a $10 up charge.

 

[Reef By Steele]

Temps look good this week, but some 100’s in the far south. If yours are above 100 either wait or I can ship insulated box for $10 box charge.

Got a Sedgwick-Rafter slide this week and measured the density of the pods I shipped. Over 1475 per Oz. That is over 23,000 in 16 Oz. But that is just the ones I could see in a still shot of video attached. If you look at the magnified video you can see the smaller Apocyclops also, they are not in my count.

I will not ship less than 33 pods per ml which is 3 times more than 5280 in 16 Oz.

Plus order our premium pods, same quantity of pods but with added rotifers.

Combine with 10 specie phyto and amphipods for our Plankton Buffet.

Place orders now to reserve yours.

Phyto and Pods, how to dose.

How do I add phyto and pods to my tank? I’m glad you asked. When your new product arrives, place in refrigerator until ready to use.

Remove pods from your fridge and acclimate to aquarium temperature for best results. I add pods to my tank 1-2 hours after lights out with my return pump off, for the best survival rate (avoids a feeding frenzy), this allows them to find a home in the rock work. That is when I dose in my refugium as well, but not as necessary as no fish to immediately attack them.

After dosing pods, it is best to dose the aquarium with phyto daily to ensure they have a ready food source. Yes many will survive on waste and other algae in the tank, but this provides the optimum environment for them.

Dosing Phytoplankton is also hugely beneficial to all of the organisms in your aquarium, whether providing nutrients to pods and corals, live phytoplankton will consume nitrates and phosphates as it continues to grow. Remove phyto from the fridge, shake bottle and measure to dose as per the table below.
