Fresh review so hopefully Google picks up people considering podyourreef.com Dude claims to be a phD and treats his customers like family. Unanswered emails and $80 for some water with food coloring in it. I literally counted 15 apocyclops pods in my tiny jar. The isochrysis galbana I ordered was to be cultured so I inquired to make sure it's fresh. I could see my hand through the bottles. I put a ml in a deep well slide and only found one spec of brown at 40x and it didn't look like anything I see online. I have 2 month old nanno in my fridge and it looks freshly harvested. This guy's iso stunk! Don't let the flashy website fool you. Within 36 hours the culture looks like this:


There aren't many places selling iso by itself. Do your research and don't get burned like I did. The phyto dealers here look legit. Seek one out and ask if they sell iso on its own and make sure that it's freshly harvested.
