Taras and I spoke at ReefStock. Taras is an employee at TSA and I did share my thoughts with how Steven and Kevin can make TSA live phytoplankton/feeds more competitive. If you reach out to Taras, I even told him this in person on Sunday. Taras needs more space and more equipment. Running a business you get pulled 30 directions.

TSA did change the shipping on all their live feeds to a flat $19.99 shipping rate, which will help them sell more bottles per week. The old shipping charge was $39.99 for overnight shipping.

I've had people reach out about Reef Nutrition products, I direct them to Saltwateraquarium.com to purchase the products because at $40 you get free shipping were if you order directly from Reef Nutrition you are paying $27.50 or more per order regardless of the amount you spend.

I've had a few chats with Taras about things. I did cater the phytobox this weekend to his talk, I told Taras this is why I brought the strains I did. He was shocked that I would take a jar of Rhodomonas salina to the show to display.
I love how the people in this industry collaborate! Benefits the vendor and customer.

I’ve been looking at the shipping costs/sizes of bottles as well on TSA/RN//Reef Legends. All great quality companies and I’m glad you’re discussing all that. Because if one is to purchase vs make their Phyto; and dose daily - cost becomes a huge factor.

I saw your booth at CFM Phoenix but you were busy talking to other people each time I walked by. I didn't have a chance to stop and talk.
I'll be back at CFM Phoenix in May. The phytobox will be in action there. Phoenix has been a great market for live feeds. The CFM in December was the busiest small show for customer sign ups and talking out of all the CFMs so far. There was a line most of Saturday, if you'd like to chat while I'm down there in May please let me know and we can do dinner Friday or breakfast Saturday morning.

This is what started the growth. cost for me to buy phytoplankton was getting out of control. I started growing phytoplankton again in the shop. After watching Taras speak at the end of Feb 23 on Rhodomonas salina, I knew I needed that one and I ordered. I failed after 3 weeks with that strain and reached out to Taras. So I have a special place in my heart for him. Steven & Kevin are awesome, the entire TSA team is awesome.

Taras was pulled every direction at Reefstock, while having his own agenda while being in Denver. Hopefully he can get away and visit Utah, so I can take him across the state to see each ecosystem we have and do a few hikes.

Costs and trying to find products to grow phytoplankton strains was hard. This is why the site offers everything I use to grow products. If you buy the Florida Aqua Farms f/2, silicate water, fritz f/2 or anything else we use. I can help you achieve the density or help you solve the questions you may have. The CFM Silicon Valley I sold a pod kit to a customer and now he is selling pods to his locally community. He has more pods than getting a few bottles each week. He helps local hobbyists that want the bottle and a personal connection.

I do love Taras- incredible mind with great sense of humor! TSA is a main source for me; my corals from them are always top notch

You two will have to post pics someday of the Phyto boys hiking!

Taras's mind is amazing. I would love to spend more time with him. I was horrible and never snagged a picture of him in my booth or of us talking in person. Maybe this was all in my mind, but at least there I have a memory of Taras stopping by at ReefStock. :rolling-on-the-floor-laughing:

Revh also stopped by on Saturday, I need to be better about taking photos with people. One day I will be cool and people will want to take pictures with me.

Probably disqualified from entering anyway, but I am already a big believer in @ReefLegends products!
Why would you be disqualified? I’m not choosing a winner. How did the phytoplankton do after we bagged it at the show in Anaheim?

The Phyto is going crazy! I need to split it like 5 times over! I also need to split the Rotifers in the Swamp mix. They are going through Phyto faster than I can put it in. The two bottles of Rotifers went through about a gallon of your Phyto in about 3 days!
That’s good stuff Maynard!

Youre starving those rorifers!! I do feed a ton of phytoplankton to my rotifers, Reef builders did a pretty long video clip of the bottles I took to reefstock.

Rotifers are my number one consumer of phytoplankton.
