Introduction to Dinkins Aquatic Gardens

[Dinkins Aquatic Gardens]

Dinkins Aquatic Gardens is a small business run by my wife and myself that focuses on live foods for your reef. We currently offer phytoplankton, three species of copepods, rotifers, amphipods (in limited quantities) and berghia nudibranchs (in limited quantities).

We focus on providing a quality product with concierge-level customer service and a 100% satisfaction guarantee. Your emails and Facebook messages will be answered within minutes in most cases - you'll never need to fill out a help ticket and wait days for a reply. With our live delivery guarantee, you'll never fill out a form, take any pictures, or jump through hoops. You just send us an email, and we take care of the rest.

We also very strongly believe in protecting the environment and our oceans, which is why we have gone green with all our packing materials, including the use of biodegradable styrofoam boxes for shipping.

Product Spotlight

Our product lineup includes the following highlights:

Live Phyto Blend - Feed your corals and your microfauna with our blend of six different species of live phyto to provide the optimal nutritional profile for your reef. You wouldn't feed your kids exclusively one type of food - why would you feed your reef only one or two species of phyto?

Reef Snacklebox - Three species of copepods and a generous helping of rotifers feed your corals and finicky fish. The Tigriopus, Apocyclops, and Tisbe pods will also colonize your refugium and rocks, cleaning up the detritus that gets stuck in hard-to-reach areas.

Snacklepack Combo - Maximize your tank's biodiversity by combining a 16 ounce Reef Snacklebox with a 16 ounce bottle of Live Phyto Blend.

Shipping

Shipping is free in the Continental U.S. on orders over $65. We provide an ironclad live delivery guarantee. We also offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee - no hoops, no forms, no B.S. You will be satisfied, or you'll get your money back.

I've collected some of our reviews into a single thread for your perusal. Buy with confidence - all of these people did!

Great introduction! Which species of copepods are easier to establish in aquarium? How about rotifers?

Great question. We offer single species because some people just have a favorite. Our recommendation is always to get the Snacklebox for maximum biodiversity in your tank. The rotifers in there will give your corals a snack and something else to focus on while the pods settle in.

Order in confidence. THE best deal in pods and phyto. Phyto is thick and smells delicious. Pods are insanely dense. I’ve ordered several times. 5 star.

Got an order from them just last week to help get me through the ugly new tank stage per BRS recommendations, so far I see that nice brown algae starting to disappear since I added two bottles of there pods. I will be back to continue add more life. Love working with small shops.

Lol, no worries. Of course be careful with the bad apples that will take advantage of your great customer service.

I Just recently received my first order from these guys and was very impressed. I ordered copopods and phytoplanton and both arrived promptly and in wonderful condition. Fast, friendly, and great customer service. Waiting on their amphipods now. Great company to deal with!!

Thank you so much! I truly appreciate your business - we'll start putting up the amphipods for the week on Friday night to make it a little easier to check for. I'm sorry they're still in limited quantities for now - hopefully that will be changing soon!

 

[BlueBuddha]

Go buy this stuff! Not now but right now! I ordered a half gallon of snacklebox and a half gallon of ph. The packaging was outstanding, and still warm when it arrived even after getting pushed back a day by UPS. I was so impressed I ordered again!! This time I was able to grab amphipods and a few more snacklebox. I’ll be back for more! The customer service, handwritten thank you card and a few other goodies makes the experience just that more enjoyable. Thank you @Dinkins Aquatic Gardens!

 

[billyocean]

Wow...first order and packaging was top notch! Even got a personalized thank you card...stickers, a pen..overly impressive! Thanks.

Just ordered to support the cause

Edit: order placed!. Glad I double checked my order because I was about to pay an extra 15 for shipping til I noticed I could add a bottle of rotifers to hit that free shipping total

My first order was great, tons of pods but my live phyto went to waste. It seemed to fuel my bryopsis/cyano outbreak so I had to shelve it. Looking forward to giving it a whirl again!
