Can't find anything on this forum about them. Was going to go with a snail pack and the buy one get one 1000 pod packs.

Good? Bad?

Pods are good. the BOGO sale is when I buy. Snails ok too. That's about it.

I think i ordered amphipods and cheato once from this site. The cheato wasn't as clean as I wanted. Though the amphipods arrived alive and were as expected, I now order pods and cheato from Algae barn.

Looks like their prices are better on the pods. Thanks for the tip. Looks like they do buy one get one if you join the club, didn't look at those details.

How many pods can a 55 gallon support?


No snails though, I was hoping to get some to clean up my sand bed.

I joined the club but I think 10k is going to over populate the tank. I guess they'll just get eaten.

I have a mandarin I've had my eye on at the lfs but I think he won't last long in a 55 if I don't buy pods constantly.
Scooter blennies are a little less demanding. I really like the ruby red dragonet. Since you joined the club, you could get on a subscription? ;)

Do they turn over a lot of sand? I keep my lps on the sand bed so that's always a concern.

Not as much as a sand sifting goby or a algae eating blenny.

Aquarium depot used to be reefs2go. Might look at the reviews of the old name before investing too much on an order... my experience has been that I've never had a coral from them survive. Pods weren't too bad, clean up crew always tiny

I'm looking at this bogo deal with 10k+pods and a quart of phytoplankton. I'm assuming that would be beneficial for my tank too.

Aquarium Depot is probably the website I order from the most. I had one shipment come DOA due to incorrect packaging (everything was practically cooked) and they replaced it with no issues. Everything else has come promptly and without issues. I have made maybe 5-6 orders in the last two years, usually when they run 50% off on all coral sales.
