HIGH QUALITY + LOW PRICES = GREAT VALUE!
Sherry and I take great pride in the quality of our product. From culturing in sterilized saltwater processed with RODI, Brightwell Aquatics NeoMarine Reef Salt Mix (others use the cheapest salt mixes on the market ie Instant Ocean), UV sterilization utilizing 120W Lifeguard Aquatics sterilizer, followed by bleach treatment and natural neutralization. We currently culture 8 individual copepod species. Providing multiple options so you can target your tank’s occupants specific needs (check out our copepod guide here
https://reefbysteele.com/pages/how-to-choose-the-correct-copepods-for-your-tank).
Our harvest process incorporates low micron sieves to collect all life stages of our pods. Why this matters is that juvenile copepods moving into or through maturity have the highest reproduction rates, sieving adult copepods only reduces the colonization potential ensuring repeat purchases
Combining our Copepod Buffets with our Phyto Buffet options can further enhance this reproduction potential, providing your tank with the highest quality and nutritionally packed food source for you pods. Using our Phyto Buffet products add another benefit. Consistent dosing of our live Phyto Plankton is proven to reduce nutrients (Nitrate and Phosphates) in your water increasing the overall health of your tank. We have had multiple customers reach out to let us know that our Phyto Buffets are the first phytoplankton product that actually reduced these nutrients. While we do not speak negatively about our competitors, and nutrient reduction should occur with dosing of any “LIVE” phytoplankton, we attribute this to our commitment to quality and freshness. We culture between 16-20 distinct strains at any given time providing one of if not the most diverse blends in the market, we scope our product with every harvest to ensure health, viability and ensuring it is what we say it is. We harvest fresh every week and bottle and ship without ever refrigerating (with the exception of our (Phyto Buffet Extreme which requires refrigeration during our natural concentration process again done weekly to ensure freshness) to bring our product to you with the least “aging” possible.

We utilize these systems not only in our culturing process but in our Clean Up Crew systems.
