Algae Barn Pods

OK... I stand corrected and please accept my humble apologies. By not removing or relocating this thread is more than enough proof to show that I was wrong with my conclusion.

Go to indo-pacific sea farms www.ipsf.com. I received an order of mini brittle stars and some bristle worms about 2 months ago and they are doing well they also sent me a free sarcophyton (toadstool coral)

I got a short video..it really doesn't do justice either... but once I figure out how to post it.. i will

Thanks for the pictures. Are you happy with the Tisbe count? See them swimming around in video but it can only show so much.

Always happy with the count in there

It's super hard to get a decent pic or Video..

IF I shine a flash light from the bottom.. you can REALLY see them... but I can't manage to film it by myself...
But you can see a bunch swim upwards.. and then all over the sides if the bag their are pods of all diff sizes.. all over

General question about pods. I have a tank thats 3 months old and I would like to add pods for the first time to help build a population in my reef. I was thinking of giving podyourreef a try. Do i need to get the phyto at the same time to add to my tank? Can i just get the pods? Will they eat whats already in my tank?

In my opinion.. it wouldn't hurt... add all the pods to the tank.. then dose the tsnk with phyto..

Also.. remember to fill the pod pouch with tank water after you empty them in.. add some flake food or some phyto.. and in a week or two.. the pouch will be full of pods again..



To Anyone who ordered from pod your reef above...

Y'all happy with your orders?
I've always been happy with my pod your reef pods... so I hope anyone who ordered above are happy as well

I ordered pods and phyto from podyourreef! So its 100% safe to just dump them in? I dont need to worry about hitchhikers or anything nasty right?

Got my Tisbe pods in from podyourreef. First time buying pods ever so not sure what is alot and what is not. Mine looked like the pics above. It deffinitely was not just water in a bag. I saw plenty little guys swimming around but i hope there was a bunch more i could not see. I refilled the bag with tank water, added some phyto, and left the cap off. Hopefully there will be more pods in a week or two like posted above!

I’m hesitant to order again from algae barn. I’ve made 3 orders now. First bag seemed great. No luck populating. 2-3 orders.. dead floaters and no dice still. Laying off copepod thing for a bit until a proven supplier emerges.
