Also don't forget to count them and make sure they packed 5280 pods in it.

[@647mil]

Lol😂

[@neogeo227]

Thanks for the good info, adding them at night is very important

[@Sam.osborne__]

Putting them in the fridge really doesn’t harm them at all. At my fish shop and many others, our Copepods go in the fridge every night, and the are all fine once they’ve warmed back up, it just slows them and their metabolisms down so they last longer

[@scottamaral6749]

I fell asleep, woke up and this dude was still talking...

[@scottyjackson6665]

My first thought was that it was packaged in tortillas, 1 candy plus complementary tortillas. LOL. Eat insulation tortillas whilst adding copepods to your tank. Awesome!

[@DJ_LittlePea]

This was a very cool unboxing indeed .... 🤗

[@eatsleepreef9565]

PsychedelicBabe thanks glad you enjoyed it ;)

We have 3 salty fish tanks and one salty corals tank. We swear by using copepods. He is absolutely correct in adding multiple breeds of the pods. If you like to have filter feeders like Duncan corals or feather duster worms, in my opinion copepods are a 100% necessity. I’m about to start breading my own pods. Algae Barn is, in my opinion, the best resource for starting anything like pods. Their staff is wise in any questions you may have. PS….the unbleached cotton batting they use for shipping is brilliant! Recyclable, a great source for insulation, and natural. It shows how the company is committed to the importance in preserving and restoring the health of our planet.

[@raulmedina6223]

Silly question, but during weekly water changes will they be sucked out?

[@Mitch1732]

Ok bud they went above and beyond,,we get it lol

[@Alonsosancho19]

Amazing!

[@abdelatifal-daoud7648]

Thank you, nice description, however; can they survive 3 weeks of shipping? as I well send them to another country?

[@rja9784]

What size tank do you have that flame angel in? I’ve read they need at least 75 gallons

[@dannydingdingable]

Does the phytoplankton affect the nutrient levels in the tank?

[@jhonlikethese6705]

Excellent video

[@jenniferxjeffrey]

Can pods reproduce their own without the ocean magik?

[@idel2221977]

The Swedish fish alone won me over 😅

[@ClarinetInThePark]

I am currently cycling my tank. After that's done should I seed my tank with phytoplankton before I get pods?

[@dboy4ever]

You can put both in your cycles tank at the same time

[@kylesullivan4441]

So if I add these to my tank and don’t have a refugium can they still survive in my system? If not then how often should I add these packages to my tank?

[@intergalacticbigboi7088]

Yes they will survive without a refugium just need phytoplankton and and a light of course

[@Trihope]

I'm curious to hear your review of the product now that it has been over a month since you've used this.

[@eatsleepreef9565]

Trihope140.6 amazing the pod population is like it has never been befor in my tank!

[@garysteinert8040]

I will be adding it tomorrow, I just have two clown fish and two shrimp

[@melaniesimpson6322]

I have a 29 gallon biocube... How much would I add? The smallest pack?

[@eatsleepreef9565]

Melanie Simpson just one bag would be good. You can never have to many pods ;)

[@melaniesimpson6322]

Thanks!! Going to try some!

[@michaelisakov1108]

Why do I need phytoplankton if they can just eat detritus and algae as you stated?

[@jennanation6992]

good point! I was wondering the same thing! I also re it ups the nutrients. I think may just use it for coral food since I bought a bottle!

[@Fakken28]

I always freak out and think you have a leak because if the reflection on your table hahaha

[@intergalacticbigboi7088]

Haha saw that too

[@spicyy2843]

If there ever was a video that 1.5x playback would make better this is a prime example.

[@cociutomo]

Makan jooon

[@kenjiro2676]

Things I take away from this video: Pods are microfauna that will help keep water clean by eating detritus of any kind. They are an important part of the CUC but also serve another purpose, they are food for corals, feather dusters, and fish specialized in eating micro foods. Basically this is something you want to do at some point for your marine tank to establish an ecosystem that will aid you in keeping it stable. There are also a deal at Algeabarns that offer 4 copepods! That’s pretty neat.

[@annieoakley9810]

Great info but way too much repetition.

[@sexobscura]

'repetition is a form of fatuity'

[@coldfreeze4425]

Alright Im just gonna be straight forward. 1. You unbox the package make it interesting or better still your introduction. 2. When you talk do show some footages that is linked to your conversation, it can be quite dull. 3. Do demostrate on how you can do it and ways to make it better with steps. 4. Always give a shout out first to the brand you mention. Hope you can take it positively and in fact improve from it. Happy reefing

[@jbm0745]

Informative video but the redundancy was too much.

You made this video wayyyy longer than it needed to be.

[@DLJFunk]

you didn't show us how to put them in your tank ????

[@EvanLikesCake]

Darryl J fairly simple. If adding directly to display turn off all flow and add them in and leave flow off for about 10-15mins.

[@apdroidgeek1737]

You basically just dump them and forget about it lol

[@MrAtherton]

Agree with the other comments. Could be such a great video, but you repeat yourself so much. Thanks for sharing the info.

[@sexobscura]

*copepods are in our water supply -* *it's ALL OVER the Internet*

[@frankpohl8746]

Says be careful with knife as he cuts toward his body. You cut away from yourself.

[@KentuckyReef]

Thanks for the warming that razors are sharp……

[@thesheikhifamily9424]
