It has recently come to my attention that one of our illustrious members does in fact propagate and sell pods locally.

She is currently raising two separate types: the larger tigger type pods and another smaller variety of white pods.

These are normally sold by the bottle, which should contain between 50-100 pods each.

I think that it would make much more sense to buy locally then to place an order with some distant online company with exorbitant shipping fees. If anyone is interested I think that she would be able to begin fulfilling orders within the next couple of weeks.

I'm definitely planning on picking some up (I NEED PODS), so if you would be interested in getting some as well, please post your request under this topic heading and she will get back to you with the details.

And remember, the "Buy Local" slogan doesn't just apply to farmers...

Please PM me with the details!

Thanks!

Who is the local supplier? I am interested. I was about to make an order at tiggerpod.com, but if I can get my hands on some right now and throw them in my sump that would work better!

I am in for a group buy as well.
I would rather pay the $20 and shipping for the 500 LARGER pods.

We had some problems with a couple batches in the last few months that didn't last that long. We figured out what had happenned though and corrected it. It was a very simple error that had a even simpler solution

Tigger-Pods last far longer in cooler temps, refriderators included. As I stated above, it slows down their metabolism. Typically the die off people see is due to old age in the adults. Adults are only ~half of what is in the bottle usually and by the time the die off typically the adult females have all ready released multiple broods. If they can mate physically, they will. They just live to eat and breed

If yours was 90% dead, drop me a PM and I will get you another

Gresh - I appreciate the offer, but I wouldn't feel right taking you up on it. I would say closer to 50% were dead in one of my bottles, but I don't think it was due to an error on your part at all. I was assuming they were in the fridge for too long What I meant in my post was that I was 90% sure that the pods laying on the bottom were dead, instead of hibernating.

I hope I did not imply anything negative about your product in my post. I love the tigger pods. Everytime I go to Exotic or CRS I check for them If there's a group buy for them, I'll be part of it.

Best regards,

A Group Buy is Not Probable

A Group Buy is Not Probable

I don't think that a Group Buy on Tigger Pods is going to happen. They have specific purchasing requirements regarding these types of situations which would require more coordination and planning then I, for one, would care to pursue. Maybe someone else, with more clout in the Club, can proceed with this. I think that I'm just going to go with our local source and buy home-grown...

The following proposition is a great deal, and good for the club as well; I just don't think that I can make it happen.

From Gresh at Reed Mariculture:

I now only do group buys thru club sanctioned group buys. The club must be a current MASNA member and has to put the order in 1 month in advance so that we don't short any of our dealers. 20% off MSRP, free shipping and a 10% of the final invoice is donated back to the club.

If you want to proceed with this, have a MARS BOD member contact me at gresham@reefnutrition.com and we'll go from there. I can probably work around the month advance notice, but I can not work around any of the other details.

I'm interested in pods !!!!

I only found Tigger pods for sale in Sac at exotic and Aquapods in Stockton (Exotic was out of stock and the Aquapods were decomposing in the bottles.)

Who ever is breeding and selling locally, I'm very interested in getting some.
