With our highs exceeding 100 degrees this week I can’t guarantee live arrival with standard shipping. If you still want to order, I can ship in an iced and insulated box for a $10 up charge.

Our new phyto has come in nicely and ready to ship. With the heat last week I did a small split so phyto is extra dark this week. Place orders soon to get yours reserved.

How do I add phyto and pods to my tank? I’m glad you asked. When you new product arrives, place in refrigerator until ready to use.

Remove pods from your fridge and acclimate to aquarium temperature for best results. Add pods to your tank 1-2 hours after lights out with my return pump off, for the best survival rate (avoids a feeding frenzy), this allows them to find a home in the rock work. That is when I dose in my refugium as well, but not as necessary as no fish to immediately attack them.

After dosing pods, it is best to dose the aquarium with phyto daily to ensure they have a ready food source. Yes many will survive in waste and other algae in the tank, but this provides the optimum environment for them.

Dosing Phytoplankton is also hugely beneficial to all of the organisms in your aquarium, whether providing nutrients to pods and corals, live phytoplankton will consume nitrates and phosphates as it continues to grow. Remove phyto from the fridge, shake bottle and measure to dose 10 ml per 10 gallons Fish only tanks, 30 ml per 10 Gallons Mixed reefs, and 50 ml per 10 gallons for reef with non photosynthetic organisms.

Our phytoplankton cultures for two weeks to get the most nutritional value. And we maintain our pod populations by not harvesting from the same culture every week.

Harvesting this evening. I try to only harvest what I need for myself and my orders and a little extra for last minute purchases. This keeps my populations super dense. Please place your orders soon so I can accommodate your needs.

FREE SHIPPING OVER $25

Mix and match with my blended pods and Amphipods.

Pods are really going to town on the phyto. Already had to add more since Sundays split.

Guess they just love our phyto buffet!

So it has been a fun journey starting up this ventures here on Reef2Reef and now it is time to complete yet another stage of the process.

Along the way we became a sponsor and wanted to upgrade our image, so I am proud to announce that we will be continuing this journey under a new name. Reef by Steele.

It is still just my wife Sherry and myself (well I have a high school kid helping with the heavy lifting while I recover from major shoulder surgery) and our desire to bring you the best value for your dollar.
