Looking at the titanic ppd buffet extreme
Phyto buffet extreme
Amphipods

What size for the first two for a 180 gallon display 220 system total and how many amphipods do you recommend?

Thank you
Good Morning.
I generally recommend a gallon of pods for a tank up to 225 gallon. With the extreme being double density you could do a 1/2, or really jump start with a gallon.

For the phyto, I recommend 1-3 ml per gallon of actual system volume (system size minus displacement for rock work, equipment etc) with the extreme .5-1.5 ml. A gallon will do 37-38 days at 100 ml per day as a reference.

For amphipods, partially depends on whether you have any fish that are going to prey on them heavily. Most fish that can get them in their mouth will eat them, but if you have a melanarus wrasse or similar hunters you may want to go heavier or at least add some or all to a refugium if you have one. They reproduce really well, so 200 would be a good start for most tanks your size.

At Reef By Steele, we are constantly reviewing our processes to ensure we are offering the highest quality products and making changes that we feel will benefit our customers. We have determined that there are products in todays reefing market that would fit perfectly into our niche in the market. Having the ability to get these products all under one roof, will save our customers both time and money. With the exception of salt, these products will ship with our live products and be included in our free shipping levels of Ground $30 or More, 2 Day $75 or more, and Overnight $300 or more. Due to the weight of salt, salt will be shipped and billed at actual shipping cost. Please message us for a quote. Our search for just these products started at RAP NY, and we have determined the route moving forward.

After considerable consideration, Reef By Steele has established a professional partnership with Brightwell Aquatics, and we now offer their entire range of products. In speaking with Jack Kent, we have gained a even greater respect for their production techniques and product quality and value in the reefing community. We see how products such as MicrobacterClean and Microbacter7 meld perfectly with our products to provide a clean, robust marine environment for our tank inhabitants just to name a few. Moving forward we will be culturing all of our products using NeoMarine Salt, touted as the highest quality salt mix on the market, being the only synthetic salt mix to be approved by NOAA for use in culturing endangered coral species in captivity, and is the only salt mix that I am aware of that actually makes the listed volume of water at 1.025 (yeah we're not sure why others advertise 50, 150, 200 gallons etc. but at 1.021). As we get a feel for specific product popularity we will tweak our on hand products and dial in on the most sought after items for your convenience. This being said, we have access to every product available, so if you do not find the product or size you desire on our Website, message us and we can have it drop shipped directly to you. In conjunction with this launch, we have been authorized to offer an introductory special for all of our customers. Receive 10% OFF order total until midnight 7/31/2024.
