WTB Pods

[Myka]

If you start a couple times weekly dosing a small amount of DT's Live Phytoplankton your pod population will explode. Be careful not to overdose and pollute your tank. If you start growing nuisance algaes, then you are dosing too much.

Damn, and I just made my order to J&l's! Thanks for the tip, I might try to find some in town and give it a shot!

Thanks!

Make sure you buy the DT's brand...other brands don't even compare. J&L has to send it in a separate styrofoam box with ice packs as needs to stay refridgerated.

I actually need the pods themselves, as I stated in my original post I no longer have an existing population.

DTs is an okay brand, but the die off is tremendous. If you want a good phyto try growing your own from a starter kit from a reputable company such as Florida Aquaculture Farms.

You've got to have some pods in your tank...??? I don't think I've ever seen a tank that didn't have any pods. LOL...not many people actually want to grow their own phyto. It's a pain in the butt, but ya it's the best option. From my research and experience, there isn't any better brand of bottled phyto than DT's...what do you suggest?

Your taking my thread off topic...however I have used DTs and personally I feel that Reefcrew offers a superior product when found fresh.

I haven't seen pods in my tank since early December, therefore I have concluded that the population has either died off, or there are too few remaining pods to re-seed the population.

Back to the original topic at hand, is there anywhere else in Calgary that I can purchase pods. Or does anyone local have macro algae full of pods to sell?

Catherine, I've bought macro from Greg/Snappy in the past. Might try shooting a PM his way. I'm SURE his refugium is loaded with pods

[michika]

Thanks! I'll definitely do that too.

That was terribly rude, and offensive. Please stop commenting in my thread since you have nothing productive to contribute.
