Where to get Live Mysis, amphipod, copepod locally?

[Jimbo327]

I used to have live mysis in my tank many years ago, and it was fun watching them. And also had tons of copepod and amphipods as well on my glass. They just came on the live rock or someone's frag.

Now that I'm restarting my tank from dead rocks, that is the one thing I miss having from fresh live rock. Anyone got any pods or live mysis in their tank to spare? Or know of a local source to get some? I always think it is good to get a good biodiversity in a tank.

Following! Used dry rock myself. Been reading a bit on maybe adding a bottle of tiger pods. Still unsure

Check out algeabarn.com. They have a pretty good deal for first time customers. Ordered up a combo pack of pods and phyto yesterday.

Wish I had knew back then, I should have bottled them up and sold them. ��. Anyone want to split a pack since new members get buy one get one free? I wouldn't mind getting the pod mix with a photo for $60. If someone wants to split, then it's $30 each. I have a tiny tank, that is why I would be able to handle 2 sets.

I can give you some cheato from my sump for free, tons of pods in it.
This is all you need and after a month they will explode.
Let me know if you need some.

That would be great. Never crossed my mind that chaeto will have pods.

Do you use filter sock?? My cheato in sump has "zero" in it. I see a few moving around when lights off on my DT but, not very much. I also used to see some got caught inside the filter socks too but not anymore.

I wonder if my filter socks has something to do with not populating the pod's. I don't have madarin fish either.

No I don't use filter socks, my cheato are full of pods and I have many wrasses.
If don't have nutrient problem, dose oyster feast and that helps a lot.
