Apex-Pods are an excellent food source that attracts finicky fish, such as mandarin dragonets, pipefish, Anthias sp. and wrasses.  This copepod can also be fed to invertebrates, such as SPS, LPS and NPS corals, as well as other filter feeders. Smaller than Reef Nutrition’s Tigger-Pods®, stage 1 nauplii are approximately 70 micron and adults are approximately 600 to 700 microns.

Apex-Pods will give your tank a healthy boost because they are fed on Reef Nutrition’s super-concentrated, microalgal-based, premium quality feeds. 

Our bottles are by far the most concentrated on the market. More for your money.

Perfect for direct feeding, culturing or stocking new tanks and refugia, Apex-Pods breed rapidly, producing hundreds of eggs per female.

Not only do Apex-Pods boost biodiversity in your tank, they gobble up organic waste!

Note: Apex-Pods™ bottles contain approximately 2,000 juvenile and adult Apocyclops panamensis copepods.

DO NOT REFRIGERATE! Pop the cap upon arrival and during acclimation. After acclimation to room temperature, Apex-Pods should be added to the tank or culture vessel within 24 hours of arrival or purchase from a store. Depending on predators and tank size, Apex-Pods may need to be replenished routinely. To help promote a population, it is recommended that you feed phytoplankton to the tank often. Our Phyto-Feast is an ideal food for these animals and will also provide nutrition for many other invertebrates in your reef aquarium.

Acclimation:

  • With the cap popped open, let the bottle stand at room temp for about 2 hours to allow the temperature to rise.  
  • Salinity acclimation is not necessary. 

Direct feed to fish and corals:

  • Turn off wavemakers and your recirculating pump(s).
  • Pour the animals in and watch the feeding frenzy.
  • You can even use a target feeding device for this step.

Establish in a display:

  • Turn off the lights, wavemakers and recirculating pump(s).
  • Pour the animals in and wait for 30 minutes.
  • Return the system to normal function.
  • Remove filter socks and floss. Replace the next morning.

Since some of the copepods will cling to the side of the bottle after pouring, make sure to rinse the remainders out with clean saltwater so that you get every last animal.

Establish in a refugium (best method):

  • Pour in the animals and watch them settle in.

Since some of the copepods will cling to the side of the bottle after pouring, make sure to rinse the remainders out with clean saltwater so that you get every last animal.

Solid Affordable Duvet Insert Comforter
Color: White, Size: Queen
This is a great affordable all-season duvet insert comforter. There are multiple tie downs to attach to the duvet cover, not just the 4 corners. It is soft and washes well. It's plenty warm in the cold but might be too much during the hotter months. I live in San Diego where the average yearly temperature is at least 70 degrees. During the majority of the year this comforter ended up being too warm for me. I've used it for nearly 2 years but just replaced it with the much thinner Bedsure cooling comforter. If you're a hot sleeper or live in a warm climate, I'd recommend that product. This is still a good comforter, just not for me.

Must have!
Color: Light Grey, Size: Queen
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This comforter is absolutely amazing! It feels like something you'd find in a luxury hotel—soft, lightweight, airy, and incredibly comfortable. It has quickly become one of the best purchases I've made. The quality exceeded my expectations, and it's perfect for staying cozy without feeling too heavy. My kids love it so much that they're constantly trying to steal it from me! If you're looking for a comfortable, high-quality comforter, I highly recommend this one. You won't be disappointed!

Not Bulky, Not Too Warm
Color: White, Size: Twin
This is a great comforter. I have purchased others that were way too bulky. This one is perfect. It is lightweight and seems ideal for warmer temperatures. I am not too hot in the middle of the night. We are heading into Summer but I am sure this will be fine for Summer heat or for Air Conditioners.

Nice Sheet
Color: Grey, Size: Queen
This sheet is great! The way they have the corners secured it will stay on and never slip off. It also has a tag letting you know which is top or bottom. The sheet is very smooth to lay on. I find that Bedsure items are well made and last a long time!
