Copepods for Fuge

JPSika08 · Apr 15, 2016

I would like to start colonizing copepods in my fuge, which product should I buy?
How much should I add for copepods to colonize?

Is this good?

No. Anything that says artic on it cold water and will not reproduce in reef conditions, that is mentioned as live food. Algae Barn is a fourm sponsor and sells reef pods for seeding your tank.

Thank you! I will browse their site.

If haven't already you might want to look locally too. We have a guy in our Reef Club who breeds pods at home and sells them to us for cheap. Depends on your community of course.

Avoid tiger pods as well, as they are cold water so they can be stored in the fridge.

algaebarn.com is a great site for Pods. That's the only place I have bought from!

Thank you, problem is that I'm out of the USA, so need to have the copepods sent in a sealed container.

I'm seeing this one, is it good?

Have bought from Algae Barn and Reef Cleaners. Both are generous with the pods. And Reef Cleaners has a penny macro algae sale item.

They usually have a thread once a month for a buy 1 get 1 free. I have bought from them 4 times and everything has been great. Reef cleaners is also a great place. That's where I get my CUC from.
