I've been pronouncing these all wrong the whole time. I also didn't realize that they were more of a free floating copepod. It's pretty cool to realize the different roles of each copepods

Daily Bonus: I like the idea of different pods for different purposes and appreciate Taras’s passion and knowledge.

Daily bonus. I just started stocking pods. I m already seeing the benefits. They eliminated a diatom bloom on my newly added rock super fast.

I think Taras enjoys the algae and pods more than the reef tanks he feeds them to.l

I just wish it wasn't so expensive to ship a critter that once added to the tank they just disappear!

I just wish there was an easier way to breed and feed these guys. I need automation in my system.

Exactly. That's what makes me hesitant about phytoplankton. In order to make it worth the buy I have to buy a lot of Fido but then it just dies because there's so much that I can't use in time

The only thing about feeding these is it's just so hard to determine if it's actually doing anything positive for my fish and coral outside of my standard feed.
