@Reef By Steele has an amazing product, the greatest customer service, and could give a Master Class on proper packaging of sensitive items. Doing research to begin my journey into culturing phyto and copepods I stumbled upon a Black Friday sale here on R2R. I quickly ordered as it was over half...
Hello! Does anyone know where I could find freshwater copepods? I've been searching online recently, but the only thing that ever seems to pop up is saltwater copepods. And the freshwater copepods that are available are very, very expensive. Thank you!!!

Hello, I have been fascinated with copepods, and to be honest, The main reason I wanted to do this was to get a mandarin goby, but then I saw and read and heard the benifts of copepods, and how expensive they are. So I just said ok, lets just culture my own and I believe I have all that I need...
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...
Hello Everyone,
I had posted this issue in the algae forum but after some investigating and discovering new phone camera features... I am seeing an obscene amount of copepods everywhere... in water, on rock, glass, substrate. This seems alot more than normal. Since I have a Mandarin and am aware...

Hello, I’m upgrading my fish tank to Red Sea g2 425 and I’m wondering if I put 25 packs of live copepods would it be enough to reproduce. I have 4 mandarin fish but I don’t think that my copepods will survive the move and I want to be sure I will have enough to kinda start again without...

The Multi-Banded Pipefish can make a fascinating addition to a well-maintained seahorse aquarium. They are slow and delicate swimmers, so choose tankmates that are compatible in terms of size, behavior, and feeding habits. Avoid keeping them with fin-nipping or aggressive species that may harass...
If you used an automatic filter roller preventing leftovers and fish poop to get to the refugium, would you still have a thriving pod population in the refugium?
I believe the obvious answer would be no, as they’d have little to eat. But frankly, I don’t know if pods are able to eat tiny bits of...

I bought some live phyto from my lfs it's pretty smelly probably dieing now, wondering if it would still be ok to feed to copepod culture and tank or should it be thrown out?
I am looking to order groups of Mysids, Amphipods, and Copepods for my new nano setup. Unfortunately we had a tank die-off due to anaerobic bacteria bloom and had to completely sterilize my live rock before rebuilding. I need to re-seed this tank with critters and no one carries what I'm looking...
This question has two parts:
1. My first tank (40 gallon) has been running for about a week and a half. I've seen lots of change in my nitrite levels culminating in a spike last night, however my ammonia and nitrate have been borderline undetectable the entire time. Is this normal?
2. I...
Hey all!
Finally after years of saving and planning I was able to put my first reef tank together just the way I wanted. Water went in last week, and I just finished up my first 10% water change this morning. So far in the first week I've had trouble with an undersized heater due to how cold my...
