Seen a lot online about copepods being great for breaking down diatoms if introduced early enough. I'm keen to give it a go. But do all pods do the desired thing? I'm in the UK and it looks like there are limited options for getting any pods here. Was considering these...

I caught sight of these little guys in my tank this morning before I left for work, I googled around and I’m guessing that they’re copepods but I wanted to get confirmation that they’re not harmful. Tank is at least 6 months old (possibly more, I’m the second owner), and the parameters stay...

Can anyone ID this thing? I was FaceTiming my husband and propped the camera up and realized it picks up such the tiniest little critters compared to what I can see! Thousands of copepods, amphipods, bristle worms, ect in my Refugium. I’m so mesmerized haha!!! Pic of Refugium for reference of size.

I have a lightly used Phyto Tank and copepod culture system. Has 4 tanks, 2 PodNest, some extra tubing and bags. Includes the sieve and Eheim air pump. $300 plus shipping. OBO No fertilizer or cultures included.

New to saltwater and trying not to harm anyone... So I added a YWG and tiger pistol shrimp to my 44 gal tank two days ago. I drip acclimated and turned off tank lights prior to adding. After putting them in the tank, the shrimp immediately hid and the goby laid on the sand in the front corner...

Hello, I am wondering whether I would be able to put saw blade algae into the display tank. Especially while I have been having issues with my refuge currently (not connecting properly to the display tank, might need to get a new overflow box). Alongside the cuc, I have a scooter blenny...

Hello! I wanted to get some input on stocking ideas for my 60-gallon reef tank. Right now it's mainly empty (just a clownfish and royal gramma) and a bunch of corals. The tank itself is pretty well-established and I'm considering getting a more 'finicky' fish but can't seem to make up my mind...

I just noticed today that they are on my front glass. The one I took a picture of is just so big. I don't know what it is.

I can see them with my eye, but they're tiny. There's thousands of them in my HOB skimmer, and they've done a very good job of cleaning it up for me overnight. They move pretty fast. They took care of my diatom problem in a few days. I am guessing copepods? Thank you!

Aqua medic sells a plankton reactor which is fairly affordable - I've ordered one without the light to start culturing pods before I buy a Mandarin Dragonet. They describe a setup in the manual where you can use two of these reactors (one with the light) and a couple of dosing pumps to fully...

Found little isopod-looking guys in my Chaeto as well as on my live rock. They seem to come out at night. They look too big to be copepods... so what are they? Should I be worried?

I suspect that there is a worm-like parasite residing inside the mouth of my banggai cardinal fish. The fish is quite small and has refrained from eating for several days, even rejecting frozen foods. After a brief description to the AI model, it suggested that the parasite could possibly be a...

Hello Reef2reef, I have always wanted a mandarin dragonet, but I have yet to buy one because my tank might not have a stable enough copepods population. My DT is 80 gallons, while my sump is 11 gallons. At night, numerous amphipods crawl on the sandbed and rocks. Homeowners of the tank is as...

I recently started a Tisbe pod culture and am following a few guides on r2r as well as on youtube, but I'm starting to wonder whether I even got any live pods? I've got two cultures going each in a 1.7l jar, both have airline tubes connected to them at 1.025 salinity. I feed phyto once every...

I have a pad in my refugium I use to prevent stuff from going into the tank and every week or so I like to clean it so I get consistent behavior from my skimmer and floss roller. Its heavily populated by copepods and amphipods in the time its in the tank and I hate killing them all when I hose...

I'm planning on culturing both phyto and copepods to dose into my 20 gallon cube tank and i was wondering if i could get both a mandarin goby and a 2 spot goby to it. I already have a clownfish, tailspot blenny, yellow clown goby, and banggai cardinal. None of these fish usually hang around the...

as i start my journey into culturing live foods: phyto,pods,mysis, etc. i’d love to see some of your tanks & get ideas as to how i could go about this. also what’s your favorite “live food” to culture? Thanks!

Hi everyone, need your help on this. What is this ? Is it copepods ? If not, what is it? Good or bad ? Should I be worried
