Not helpful how do I get some?!?!

He doesn't ship yet... Petition @Epic Aquaculture, I believe Reef Chowda is still owned/operated by his son-in-law?

Placeholder - im trying people, but thread keeps getting convoluted…

Looks like notifications on my own build thread fell off. Clearly everyone has been busy using it though

So I like Dinkins…but I like reef nutrition phyto better…it’s super concentrated…but I love getting stuff from dinkins because of the stickers and notes it makes me feel special

Yes Kev - I’m Jen!
I only got the snackkebox bottles of copepods. Couldn’t see any in the bottles but assumed they were there. Hard to say if they are any different than other vendors long term with just one order. But they have a great reputation so will replenish with them very likely.

I switched from Algae Barn’s Ocean Magik to Reef Nutrition’s Live Phyto and I love it. Very concentrated and I can get from my LFS with the rest of the food I get from RN without paying for shipping!

There was nothing wrong with Ocean Magik though- got me thru first 4 months of new tank - the shipping delays from Colorado shipping facility caused too many delays and it’s such a perishable product (including their copepods). Also, shipping costs long term weren’t sustainable so I needed to switch.

Ok. I’m going to ask that you not post random stuff on my build thread Polo. This is my personal reefing journal that I’m ultimately creating for my family. If you want to comment on my actual content, please do; just don’t spam it anymore. If you can delete some of the larger spam posts that will be helpful so I can get the thread back into a chronological order. Thank you, much appreciated.

i have enjoyed your thread! havent read the whole way through it, but enough to be touched

I'ma try some Reef Legends just because they'll be in Phoenix in two weeks. No shipping cost.

@tbrown

Tim,

You’ve tried Dinkins, Reef Chowda, Reef Legends, any others Phyto?

Curious if you’ve seen a marked difference or has it come down to sizing/quantity matching your needs and shipping costs?

I did Algae Barn both Phyto and Copepods and really like other then shipping issues.

Switched to Reef Nutrition Live Phyto and really liked heavy concentration- went a long way and could get thru LFS. But they couldn’t get the particular RN copepod; unfortunately their shipping costs for me to order direct are too much since I use daily.
I tried Dinkins and TSA copepods with the RN phyto. I’d really like to get both from one source. I’m getting the three strains of TSA Phyto and their copepods in my upcoming shipment so it will be cool to see everything Taras has created in my tank together.

Ohh, thank you Smitten! It’s here for other’s to hopefully enjoy and glean something from for their tank journey and also for my family to enjoy some day.
