copepods

Hello everyone, I am having trouble with getting a positive identification on what appears to be an Isopod of some sort. This is the second time they have appeared in the water column since I have upgraded aquarium sizes and added live sand. They resemble Cirolanid Isopods, but they are very...

I am considering getting a mandarin but I have some questions. I've had a mandarin in the past that lived for a good amount of time, but now I have a different tank and am wondering what people think for this scenario. My current tank is a Nuvo Fusion 10 with about 8+ lbs of live live rock. It...

I have a 32G Coral Life Biocube it has been up and running for about 2 months. I used 35lbs of Life Rock instead of liverock to limit the introduction of hitch hikers. I have 3 fish, 10 hermit crabs, and 10 Astrea snails currently. I want to add some pods to the tank to get a population...

I was curious of any creative methods to target feed a Mandarin dragonet in a mature 90-gallon tank with six other fish that have relatively aggressive eating habits. I have two frostbite clownfish, one yellow tang, Hawaiian bristletooth tang, yellow watchman goby and a rainbow fairy wrasse. I...

I have been noticing more and more people talking about pods. Whether it be for a certain fish or just a CUC (clean up crew). I HIGHLY recommend getting the Tisbe pods in your tank after it is cycled. They can live in a home aquarium best from what I read or heard by word of mouth along the way...

I had this 4g IM AIO that I had to tear down at work. My fuge on my DT is not too big and I thought I would set this up as a separate pod growing tank, and put some additional Chaeto, Dragon's breath and some mangroves that I bought, well just because in it. It has live sand and rock rubble...

It is all too often we hear bad things about companies but rarely good things. So I wanted to take a minute and give a shout out to AlgaeBarn for going the extra mile to help me out. They don't just say they care about the pods in your tank they mean it. Thanks to AlgaeBarn for looking out for...

Long story short I did not know the Algae Barn shipping dates and when I ordered it last week I missed the cutoff time. So it shipped this week and I was out of town working and I had my daughter temp acclimate the pods and add the phytoplankton. Here's where things went bad. She added the two...

I was at a LFS and bought some Algagen Pods and noticed that the date was 8/22/17 and has a 4 week expiration date. I dumped them in with the wavemaker off and did not notice anything "squiggling" around. Granted I have poor eyesight but shouldn't I have seen something move? Also does anyone...

I am in the process of making a dwarf seahorse tank out of a Marineland either 3 or 5 gallons. The problem I'm running into is feeding the little guys. I understand that the norm is to feed bbs and bs, however, I also understand that in their natural habitat they eat mostly copepods and mysid...

I wanted to start a thread to discuss different types of live food, culturing info, pros and cons, and how to. I am interested in all aspects of live feeding, but I figured I would ask some questions to get this discussion started! Do you feed: Live phytoplankton Live zooplankton Live...

I am looking through other options for the Juwel filterbox. I have up until now used it with the original sponges but am now considering removing the entire unit upon learning the sponges may become nitrate traps. The pros for removing would be: more space in the tank, less unsightly tech. The...

Hey everyone, Chad Clayton here. I am gearing up to present at the Ocean State Reef Aquarium Society's annual event in April. I am going to discuss live feeds and how they are applied to aquariums (also a little about aquaculture). I have a lot of information from past experiences on brine...

Hi. I want to add some copepods to my tank for my scooter blenny. I didn't know he was in the dragonet family when I got it. He's eating frozen foods. I just have to make sure they get down to him. Won't I lose a lot due to the filtration, and water changes? I figured i'd do my next water...

A friend of mine has a reef tank that uses a oversized Aquatop 5oo canister filter instead of a sump for a 40 gallon breeder tank. Also has a HOB protein skimmer. He is very diligent about keeping the system clean and all of his parameters are in good shape. He wants to introduce copepods to...
