is that pods-in-a-bottle? literal "arctic" copepods actually won't survive in our reef tanks... they are found in very cold water. so i'm not sure if that's just a marketing thing... probably.

the only pods in a bottle i've heard positive feedback on is www.oceanpods.com ... not surprisingly, the only product produced by a biologist/expert on copepods, and not a company.

New product, supposed to be larger than cyclopeez.... just curious if anyone has looked into these or even used them thats all. Sharky's reef has them.

ah, so they're not live?

 

[burning2nd]

this is for feeding only right? cause i got lots of pos that are liveing and molting and doing there thing inside the rocks

 

[Charlie97L]

pods in a bottle are for feeding or seeding a depeleted tank.

i'm not sure those are live... if they are truly arctic copepods, they would be for feeding only, and not live long at all.

can you buy pods that come from the warm water (that live it you rocks) in a bottle?

Artic Pods are not alive but can be frozen to last a little longer. We have had great feeding success with the artic pods even with picky eaters.

For those looking for alive copepods. I highly recommend the Tigger Pods. They do much better and are much bigger them most of the other brands. There are alot of vendors besides us that carry these.

Chads - Shipping for the live food and other food falls under the dry shipping method (alot cheaper). So for 1 to 4 bottles it is only $10 shipping total. However, if you want to drive down no problem. We loved to see you.

So would getting a bottle of the Tigger Pods be a good thing to seed a newly made Refugium with?

Copepods will do nothing but benefit your aquarium. I think its a good idea.
