WE GOT THE REEF

REEF BY STEELE is dedicated to bringing you the highest quality products at the lowest price possible.

Blended Pod All.png


HIGH QUALITY + LOW PRICES = GREAT VALUE

Check out our large selection of Copepods. We culture a vast selection of copepod. We currently culture 9 unique species. Both Benthic (crawlers) and Pelagic (free swimming) which allows you to target the specific types to TARGET YOU TANK’S specific needs. Benthic pods are the best for micro clean up and for providing a food source for Mandarin Dragonets, Scooter Blennies, Sand Sifting Gobies and other species that roam the rock work and sand bed. Pelagic pods provide a continuous food source for cruisers like Leopard Wrasses, Anthias and other high metabolism fish requiring multiple daily feedings.

EXPERIENCE THE STEELE ADVANTAGE

Cultured under the highest standards in sterilization, nutritional profile and specific species isolation, our processes are second to none in the industry.

We harvest with extremely small micron sieved collecting all life stages. While other competitors sieve with much larger micron sizes reclaiming the nauplii and juveniles to bolster their breeding stock, we include these life stages in every bottle which increases the potential for colonization within you tank. As pods move through their life stages their reproductive potential is highest as juveniles reach maturity and wanes as the age.

With pricing below other online stores and FREE 2 Day shipping on purchases over $60 weeks offer the greatest value for our customers on every product we provide.

WE GOT THE REEF!

We have been quietly increasing our production capabilities while working to complete our remodel (delayed due to HVAC schedule issues). This presents us with the opportunity to make a special offer for all purchases through May 25th midnight. This will include all open orders and subscription orders through this same time frame.

FOR THIS LIMITED TIME RECEIVE
50% MORE PODS


LOW PRICES + HIGH QUALITY = GREAT VALUE!

To achieve this, we will harvest 50% more pods per gallon of production than our normal harvest. This equates to our DOUBLE AND EXTREME COPEPOD BUFFETS being 3X our standard pods, and our STANDARD COPEPOD BUFFETS being 1.5X our normal density.

We receive weekly positive responses to our standard densities so this enhancement will provide a nuclear explosion of pods in your tank.

EXPERIENCE THE STEELE ADVANTAGE!

Sherry and I take great pride in the quality of our product. From culturing in sterilized saltwater processed with RODI, Brightwell Aquatics NeoMarine Reef Salt Mix (others use the cheapest salt mixes on the market ie Instant Ocean), UV sterilization utilizing 120W Lifeguard Aquatics sterilizer, followed by bleach treatment and natural neutralization. We currently culture 8 individual copepod species. Providing multiple options so you can target your tank’s occupants specific needs (check out our copepod guide here https://reefbysteele.com/pages/how-to-choose-the-correct-copepods-for-your-tank). Our harvest process incorporates low micron sieves to collect all life stages of our pods. Why this matters is that juvenile copepods moving into or through maturity have the highest reproduction rates, sieving adult copepods only reduces the colonization potential ensuring repeat purchases.

Combining our Copepod Buffets with our Phyto Buffet options can further enhance this reproduction potential, providing your tank with the highest quality and nutritionally packed food source for you pods. Using our Phyto Buffet products add another benefit. Consistent dosing of our live Phyto Plankton is proven to reduce nutrients (Nitrate and Phosphates) in your water increasing the overall health of your tank. We have had multiple customers reach out to let us know that our Phyto Buffets are the first phytoplankton product that actually reduced these nutrients. While we do not speak negatively about our competitors, and nutrient reduction should occur with dosing of any “LIVE” phytoplankton, we attribute this to our commitment to quality and freshness. We culture between 16-20 distinct strains at any given time providing one of if not the most diverse blends in the market, we scope our product with every harvest to ensure health, viability and ensuring it is what we say it is. We harvest fresh every week and bottle and ship without ever refrigerating (with the exception of our (Phyto Buffet Extreme which requires refrigeration during our natural concentration process again done weekly to ensure freshness) to bring our product to you with the least “aging” possible.
