Not sure if you need an insulated styrofoam box for your order? No worries - we automatically pack EVERY order in biodegradable styrofoam coolers.

Not sure if you need ice? We check the weather for every order and add ice as needed to beat the summer heat.

UPS mess something up and you have a DOA? Just PM or email us. We don't ask for pictures or proof - we just take care of you!

That's the Dinkins Difference.

About a year ago, Ashley had an idea for a completely new product line. It's related to what we do, but is something totally different than what you might expect. At the time we simply didn't have the space, then by the time we moved into the shop we had completely forgotten about it.

Driving back from Aqua Fest in March, we remembered our big idea and got to work. Now the time is almost here for the big reveal. What will it be??

Feel free to guess - I won't confirm or deny, but the first correct guess gets a $100 gift card! Here's a hint - it's not a new species of copepod or phyto.

As part of our commitment to provide a great value, all subscriptions will now receive an additional 5 percent off after the fifth order. As always, you can cancel any time, but we wanted to do a little something special for our long term subscribers.

A crucial part of the Dinkins Difference is our live delivery guarantee. But we do ours a little bit different. We don't need any pictures, we don't need any video, and you don't have to tell us within a specified number of hours.

No questions asked, no forms to fill out, no photography skills needed.

We trust you. Experience the Dinkins Difference today!

Bacteria culture or invert clean up crews?

Just got my Berghia today! I ordered two of the 3 pack of Berghia. To my delight I had an extra Nudi in each container. Another reason why I love ordering from you guys. I’ve ordered about a dozen times and never had any issue whatsoever. Class act with hand written thank you card. Thank you!

Returning home from RAP NY - we will be shipping tomorrow and Wednesday. There's still time to get your order in - we have plenty of pods, phyto, and amphipods in stock. We even have a few berghia left.

What else? Oh yeah - plenty of pod-seeded and fully cycled Snacklerock!

Why add copepods to your tank?

- They feed your fish and coral, particularly your finicky feeders like mandarins, pipefish, and anthias.

- They eat detritus, with their tiny size they can easily get into the tiny cracks and crevices in your rock.

- They are great at fighting nuisance algae, and significantly mitigate the "ugly phase" that new saltwater tanks usually get.

- They are *part* of the solution to some dino outbreaks. Combining copepods with phyto and other treatments can help with several of the different species of dinoflagelletes.

P.S. If you're in the market for rock, we've launched a new product called Snacklerock. It's been cycled and seeded with copepods. See our website or our sponsor forum here on R2R for more info on copepods, phytoplankton, amphipods, or Snacklerock:
