Quick news from the Culture Lab and honestly something I have been excited about for a while. We just launched our first single species pod bottles on the site, you can browse the whole lineup on the shop page. Wanted to share what they are for and why we built them out, because the requests came from you guys here.
If you are fighting a dinoflagellate outbreak right now, I genuinely feel for you. There is nothing more demoralizing than watching brown slime take over a tank you have poured months into. Our new Tisbe biminiensis bottle is the heavy hitter for this fight. They are benthic which means they live right in your rockwork and sand bed where dinos hide, and they absolutely shred them. They also establish beautifully in a chaeto refugium and reproduce like crazy once they settle in. If dinos are giving you nightmares, this is the pod.
If you have a mandarin, dragonet, pipefish, or any other picky eater and you are watching them get skinny, that one hits hard too. We are here for you. The new Apocyclops panamensis bottle is your water column specialist. They swim in the open tank where those fish actually hunt, and the smaller nauplii size makes them perfect for clownfish breeders and any tank where you need water column life. Pair them with our 5 species blend in the rockwork and you have got your entire pod food web covered.
Our 5 species blend (Tig, Tisbe, Apo, Oithona, Euterpina) stays the flagship for most tanks because diversity is honestly the strongest play. And do not sleep on our premium phytoplankton either. Still the densest, most cell rich phyto in the hobby and the right move whether you are feeding pods in your refugium or dosing the tank directly.
On the shipping side, we have been investing seriously in keeping your pods alive in transit because summer is brutal on live goods. New insulated mailers actively rolling out, bigger gel cool packs sized to your destination forecast!
If you want consistent dosing without thinking about it, our Subscribe and Save gets you 17.5% off plus 5x Pod Points on every shipment. Skip, pause, or cancel anytime. It is honestly the way most of our long term reefers run their pod program because the tank stays consistently topped off without ever having to remember to reorder.
If you are stuck on something, whether it is dinos, a picky mandarin, cycling a new tank, or just figuring out what your tank needs, shoot me a DM. I am here for you guys, I read every message and I genuinely want to see your tank thrive.
