Hello Joe and Welcome to R2R! I agree with other comments advising to sell the copepods. Sell them for a nominal fee and don't try to become wealthy by charging as much as buying them online. I've seen many reefers selling items for a reasonable price and others thinking they are in possession of their item valued at a new price or more.

Hi, i'm joe. From ocala florida. I culture phytoplankton and brine shrimp. Ive just started exploring the copepod culture world. But i'm wondering what i'm going to do when i have to much phytoplankton? Only so many gallons fit in my fridge lol.
I'm in Summerfield. I'd be happy to take some off your hands. :)

See if any LFS would buy some for a bulk rate. I know if I saw hobbyist grown phyto there I'd likely buy it. Reef Nutrition is fantastic food but the fresh stuff is pricy long term. Some don't want to go to the trouble of maintaining a culture.
I just want to say thank you for posting your reply... i didn't know what LFS meant until last night when i was saying Prayers (true story i promise). So i took 3-gallons to a couple local fish stores and the first store sounded interested but not promising, the 2nd store made a deal where they buy their own bottles and labels and I supply them. awesome day today thanks for the inspiration.
