    If that was towards me.......I'm not putting Ebayers down. I was just sharing my experience and posted something that I had seen on another website about pods. As a matter of fact, I believe PharmrJohn had recommended this ebayer to me once already and I plan on buying some things from him soon;D

    BTW......if any of you get these "pods in a pack" I would like for you to keep me posted as I might order me some if it works out for ya;)

    No wasnt really aimed at anyone. And as far as pods go I bought them from them months ago and it actully turned out to be a pretty good deal.

    No, just think of it as a really big water ride for pods. they are small enough that they get pumped up to the tank and survive just fine. I am sure that there are a few that get that "bug on a windshield" look but most make it just fine.

    If it were me I'd order them off of Premium Aquatics website I believe they are around $5. PA is a great company to work with, myself, Kogle and Otty have had nothing but great experiences. Kogle just bought some off of them so if you have any questions PM him, he would be more than happy to answer them come Monday. But like I said you will have no problems with PA. Hope I helped out...

    I have tons of mysis shrimp from the chaeto I purchased from ReefCleaners.org. I've seen some copods too, but they are so small that unless I just happen to look right at them when they scurry about the sand, I don't see them. Both of them made it from my sump/fuge without being cut to ribbons. And when I say tons of mysis, I mean TONS. Think of a swarm of gnats. That's what my main tank looks like when the lights are out and I use a flashlight to look in it.

    I wish I could help you about the ebay pods, but buying some chaeto really worked for me.

    I am surprised too. Never a problem here (that was not resolved to my liking)
