Piper November 30, 2013 Share November 30, 2013 Reefs2go's offer seems decent, free shipping and $9.95 per 500. I want to get a bunch to heavily seed my reef. I have one very happy mandarin in there now so I figure he's getting something, but I've never actually seeded the tank. Normally I'd say that means I have no copepods, however, when I did my last tank I already had the massive 3xVolume rated skimmer running when I took delivery of my live rock and laid it all out flat on the bottom and left it alone for months, kept a lot of stuff on the rock alive. I really have no idea if that'll keep copepods alive, but my one mandarin is really, really happy in there. However, I have two more on the way. Time to make sure I have a good food supply. Anybody have any feedback on reefs2go? Seen some feedback that isn't so positive. Any other good sources? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanM November 30, 2013 Share November 30, 2013 I got a two for one order a couple months ago. There were lots of very large amphipods and I assume lots of smaller copepods. I see lots and lots in my sump rocks and some of the DT rocks so I assume they worked. They were packed well and very active when I got them.

Not reeftopia? I have a shipment coming from them as soon as they can scrounge up a sand sifting star. Shot them an email about the bods a couple days ago but got impatient. Just placed the order with reefs2go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted the filter sock got a good chunk of them but yet, I still have lots. That was a good buy and will buy from them again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave w December 6, 2013 Share December 6, 2013 Sorry to be late in this conversation, but I'd like to offer another opinion. When fish are present amphipods are good hiders and tend to come out more at night when they are safer. I'd guess that you have thousands in your tank and don't need to buy any more. If you drop a few flakes in your tank after dark you will probably keep up a large population of amphipods. Another way to tell is if you have any cyano in your tank that shrinks at night and grows again by day. Its the amphipods that eat the cyano.

Anyone know where to purchase pods (preferably algagen tisbe pods) locally? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
