I bought mine from Reefs2go.com. I ended up getting about 1000 amphipods and copepods. I was seeding a new tank I set up with Marco Rock, so it was really barren. Now my tank is crawling with them.

+1.

On special now too. they ship them in a bag with filter material. just drop it into your sump and your all set. Very lively and more than advertised.

A fistful of cheato would likely introduce them to your system too.

I had the same question and the Reefs2Go worls out great shipping wise since I am in Florida. Can anyone advise me on how to add these since I have a sumpless 40 breeder and am not sure if adding 1,000 pods all at once is a good idea. My tank has been running for a little over a year now and think I could use a pod boost. Can these be refrigerated or should I just order less or can I add this many?

just add them after lights out so fish dont eat em..stuff the filter material that comes with them in a few rocks. leave it in for a week. so everything moves out & spreads around tank & remove filter material. thats what i do anyway. i usually put 1 pc in tank & other pcs in sump. i would just put em all in at one time. it wont hurt anything

yes i orders 2000 pods from reefs2go and put them in my fuge and man 1 month later it is packed with pods, every square inch of the fuge is crawling with them and they are all big and fat and feeding off the cheato, i think im going to get another 2000 for the display tank as well, reefs2go is the only way to go for pods!! And no they cannot be refridgearated

So how many should I order for 65 DT and 30 fuge? My 30 fuge has 3 clown gobies in it. I'm wanting to get a mandarin down the road and want to establish enough pods for him, and do you replenish them, and if so how often (after I get mandarin)?

ipsf.com has a lot of interesting items including amphipods and copepods.
