I'll be adding a fuge to my Biocube 32 and would like to add some copepods and phytoplankton.

This site sells cultures. Has anyone used them for their tanks? Is this the best way to get pods (buying cultures online)?

I'd like to have a Mandarin Goby as one of my aquapets in the future and it looks like something like this is needed to keep them fed.

How is their cost when shipping into Canada?

They don't have a shipping calculator, but I've had packages shipped to me by UPS, their preferred courier, throughout the winter. If it's 2nd day air, you're probably looking at anywhere between $50-$75 USD extra in shipping costs (for a twenty dollar order)...and then more when you're whacked with border "clearance" fees. And don't ask me what those are, but I pay them to receive my packages. Feel free to test it out, though! I'd love to buy some blue hypnea from algaebarn, although they never seem to have it in stock. Copepods Canada sounds like a bargain in comparison.

UPS has always been a killer when is comes to their "brokerage" fees getting things into Canada. I wish we had the kind of options up here that they have down there. :\
