What you said was rude, hence my rebuttal. I did contribute something productive. I did suggest you try using some DT's. I noticed my pod population DIVE when I quit feeding DT's. When you do buy a bunch of pods you may want to think about feeding them as well otherwise they may not be able to reproduce fast enough to keep a population. There...I contributed even more.

AND I'm even helping you out in your engineering thread.

Smile...it ain't that bad.

I asked you to keep the thread on topic and I explained why I wanted pods. I was not rude, you were the one who felt the need to bring in childish comments.

You are clearly not reading what I write as I have mentioned twice now that I have no existing pod population which makes your idea of supplimenting with phyto null and void.

I have nothing more to say to you.

OA sells Tiger Pods. I have purchased them often and find they help in population regen well. You do need to aclimate them
Sorry I don't know of a Calgary supply

Thanks Jason,

I think that is the product I may go with. Do you usually just use one bottle at a time?

Catherine, if you place an order with OA you should buy a few bottles as I'm sure you could sell a few off to other Calgarians

FWIW, i dont know if we're talking about the same pods or not, but if you're buying pods that are kept refrigerated in a bottle, it will not be a permanent solution. these are a cold water variety (hence the refrigeration) and wont survive long in a warm water tank. if you want a permanent population i suggest going the route of the locally bought pod infested macroalgae. there's also some "pod housing" plans around the net which are basically in tank refugiums.

I have lots of Cheato that's got a fair number of Pods you can have for free. I also have an area in my overflow system that at any given time I can count 30-40 pods that I can easily siphon into a bucket. I'm not sure that counts as teeming but it's your's if you want it. Shoot me a PM if you're interested.

I wasn't aware the tiger pods were the refrigerated variety. I need something to re-seed my own population. I want this to be a long term solution. Not a repeating process. Do you know of pods that can be purchased that are the appropriate variety?

I've send out a couple PMs to people who may have some macro algae to sell.
