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

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

What you said was rude, hence my rebuttal. I did contribute something productive. I did suggest you try using some DT's. I noticed my pod population DIVE when I quit feeding DT's. When you do buy a bunch of pods you may want to think about feeding them as well otherwise they may not be able to reproduce fast enough to keep a population. There...I contributed even more. AND I'm even helping you out in your engineering thread.

Smile...it ain't that bad.

I asked you to keep the thread on topic and I explained why I wanted pods. I was not rude, you were the one who felt the need to bring in childish comments.

You are clearly not reading what I write as I have mentioned twice now that I have no existing pod population which makes your idea of supplimenting with phyto null and void.

I have nothing more to say to you.

OA sells Tiger Pods. I have purchased them often and find they help in population regen well. You do need to aclimate them
Sorry I don't know of a Calgary supply

Thanks Jason,

I think that is the product I may go with. Do you usually just use one bottle at a time?
