ParrotFish April 17, 2016 April 17, 2016 (edited) I decided to try out a new (to me) place for pods. I have been using AlgaGen for some time, but I saw an ad for CoralReefing.com and decided to give them a try. I ordered 3 bottles of tisbe and 1 of tiger. One of the big selling points to me was free shipping for orders over $40, which as we all know in the aquarium hobby, that can be a big deal. Also prices were very good compared to AlgaGen (see below). I got a shipping notice the next day. They arrived today, Saturday. I was impressed, and then I opened the box. Box had a cooler, peanuts, cold pack, pods in nice bottles inside plastic bags. And the bottles were PACKED. A lot of tisbe bottles it can be hard to see the density of the pods, here it was very clear these were packed. I let them float for hours (I wanted to put them in after a water change and during feeding time so the pods could settle and not be blown about). My clownfish were eating some (which I thought was cool, nice treat for them) and my mandarin even poked her head out and I saw her snipping up pods. And the glass was covered, it was glorious. Although I already had tisbe pods in the tank (population needed some improvement), I did not have the tiger pods. I used my macro lens and could see all stages of life. Very pleased, impressed and happy with my experience with CoralReefing.com and they will be who I go to when I need more pods. (They also sell rotifiers and 2 different types of phyto.) Some bits of info. AlgaGen states that their 16oz bottles (which is what I used to buy) contain 200-300 pods (http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=3468+2190+3058&pcatid=3058), and lets stick with tisbe because that is the main thing I buy, 16oz bottles on LiveAquaria right now are $27.99.CoralReefing tisbe bottles contain 600+ pods (https://www.coralreefing.com/Live/tisbe-pods/) (bottles are not labeled with a measurement, but there was about 9oz of liquid/pods in the bottle, I think they hold 9.5-10oz total) for $18.99. And that doesn't even get into the shipping! (I could not decide if this should be in product or vendor feedback, please feel free to move) Edited April 17, 2016 by Squishie89
