    Experiment: Dumped 2000ml of Phyto into Tank

    I have a small scale phyto setup growing tetraselmis in two 2000ml beakers. I harvested half of the beaker volume this week and instead of putting the phyto into bottles I dosed my 140 gallon tank with 2000ml of freshly harvested phyto. To give phyto time to circulate I turned off my skimmer...

    Feeding a Mandarin Dragonet in a Nano Reef

    I threw around this idea way back before I setup my reef. I have a 16-gallon reef 11 months old loaded with coral. I set up some copepod breeding jars to dose the aquarium. I feed the copepods live phyto there are a lot of tutorials online on setting up copepod cultures. I really want a Green...

    How to acclimate a live rock to an established tank

    I can't find any forums with this answer, I have a friend asking if he can add one of his live rocks that has been established for over a year now with copepods to a new tank under two months. The new tank is a 32 gal that has been doing great, main question is how long should he acclimate his...

    Preemptively ordered Copepods

    I'm currently cycling my first tank, and somehow gaslit myself into think the nitrogen cycle was measured in days not weeks. I have an order of ecopods and oceanmagik coming from AlgaeBarn to develop the plankton population in the tank post cycle but it will arrive way before the nitrogen cycle...

    Calling all Copepod culturing experts!

    Calling all Copepod culturing experts! I have done some research and I want to start culturing copepods, not only to feed my fish but also just to challenge myself and try something new that won’t break the bank. I want to culture them from the beginning so including culturing phytoplankton by...

    Ziss Hatchery for copepods / phytoplankton

    Hey everyone! Has anyone experimented with using a Ziss Brine Shrimp Hatchery to culture Copepods or phytoplankton? I feel like it would be super convenient the way it’s made!

    Pods or something more diabolical?

    Hey guys just a quick question. Monthly, I add @AlgaeBarn ecopods. A couple of months ago I used one shipment of the Galaxy pod mix. Today while feeding my corals, I noticed in my chaeto overgrowth box these little (1/8 inch?) critters. I've looked around at some pictures but I can't seem to...

    Hello Macroalgae and copepods

    Hi everyone, I am new to the marine hobby and I’ve setup a 150g tank back home in India. I am in the USA traveling for a couple of weeks and I was wondering if anyone could give me some advise on Macro Algae and copepods. We don’t get these items in India hence I plan to buy live copepods and...

    Need Help Feeding Mandarin!

    I ordered some fish about 2 weeks ago and the site I ordered from had a great deal on mandarins (we’ve wanted one for a long time now). I’m assuming it’s wild caught (yes, first mistake we know). We ordered some copepods at the same time to beef up the tank’s supply. We knew we’d have to train...

    Tiny worm ID

    Hi, I’m trying to identify a tiny worm. I added some live copepods and 1hour later my tank is covered in thousands of these tiny white worms. I’ve tried to get some good microscope pictures so maybe you could help me! Thanks!

    How do I go about adding copepods to my aquarium?

    Hi, my aquarium's cycle seems to be nearing its end as the nitrites fall and the nitrates rise, and I'm looking into adding copepods & other small critters to my refugium and DT because I hear they're useful, especially since algae is beginning to grow on the rocks. Where do I buy from however...

    HELP ID Copepods… Right?

    Tank looks totally normal and healthy and I found found these guys all over the glass and free floating. Only difference from yesterday is that I got two new pieces of coral. My tank is only a few months old and I’ve never seen or added pods before. Can I get a mandarin goby to help eat them?

    Will this work as a dragonet feeding station? Thoughts appreciated

    Hi All, Made the classic mistake of buying an unresearched species at the LFS this weekend. All of my gracillaria macroalgae disappeared without a trace over the course of 2 weeks and at the same time I had an amphipod explosion so my theory is that they ate it all. I have a 20 gallon AIO and...

    Are these harmless or problematic?

    Hi all, In relation to ticked off corals from time to time, coupled with being able to sleep late and wake up late (vacation for the holidays), I’ve been looking at my tank more at night, i.e. during total darkness. I noticed quite a large population of these, and they seem to be congregating...

    What’s this growing on my glass?

    Curious to see what this may be growing on the glass of my Copepod grow tank. There are 4-5 of these that have seemingly shown up over night. I recently moved the copepods from a 5 gallon bucket into this tank. Before doing so I thoroughly washed and scrubbed this tank with vinegar and water...

    Trusted Pod Dealer

    Hi Everyone, I'm curious to where everyone is getting their copepods/phyto from. There's so many dealers out there, and I've heard horror stories of people getting pods shipped to the DOA.
