Copepods

[itskris]

Best place to buy them? My potter wrasses annihilated my copepod population. Would like to reseed with a whole lot.

Best place to buy? Online or at lfs. Doesn't matter just let me know.

Thank you!

Reefs 2 go hooks it up pretty good but the weather is making shipping bad rite now so keep that in mind when ordering off line.

+1 I have bought pods from them twice and have been pleased with my purchases both times

I've ordered from R2G as well but given the weather I'd definitely try to find a local source first. Didn't realize Optimum carried them so that's good to know and I'll hit them up when I seed my new tank.

Just received my 1000 copods this mourning from r2g pleased with the size and quantity took 13days due to the holidays verses 7 days but overall very satisfied! !!

Willie,

How did they manage to keep the shipment from freezing?

Did you lose a lot of them due to the extreme temps?

I was considering placing another order but was a little hesitant due to the weather.

If someone wants to go in on an order with me to save on shipping maybe we can pay a little more to have them throw in a heat pack.

Let me know.

They put in a heat pack when they ship. Pods are tough, they can take it.

Anyone know how their rates compare to r2g?

At Nemo Aquarium in Lilburn we carry both copepod and tigger pod. You can come in and pick one up and guess how many pod in the bottle. If you guess right the bottle is your for free

The Fish Store in Chamblee has copepods. Picked my up last week and they have seeded my tank very nicely.

I've ordered them from reefcleaners in the past. If you buy a cleaner package and the pods you get free shipping (this goes for any cleaner package).
