Help in Eugene Getting PODs started after crash

[downhill_biker]

Hi everyone here in the Eugene/Springfield area. I am wanting to purchase pods, both amphipods and copepods in as much variety as possible, to restock my tank and get it started after a crash that killed most of my corals, and all of my pods, at least that I can see.

 

I dont know how to get them out of your tank and into mine, but chaeto, or a piece of rock would work, and I can return it to you in a couple weeks. Just send me a message or call me or reply to this post and let me know how much you want for the POD rental.

 

Thanks, Curtis

If they have a "sock" you can usually find a good variety in there. Thats where I got mine last year from barelycuda.

I'm in the same boat, need to get my refugium up and running before I start adding stuff to the tank.

If you are coming up to the portland area any time soon, I have a HUGE clump of chaeto that I can part out to you. I can even dig through my filter sock to find some nice big pods. I can usually find 5-6 in there, and that is enough to start a colony.

 

If you are coming to the CFM let me know.

i am coming up to portland on tuesday. i plan to check out a few LFS and meeting up with you would be great. i am glad that you helped me figure out what the true reason for my tank crash was, and i am so excited that you are part of the Tanks for Teachers program, i am getting heavily involved in that and hope to get it started a little stronger in the eugene area. i am not a teacher, but just a member that sees the need for this type of education.

Tuesday should be fine. I am about halfway between Waves and Saltwater Fantaseas. I should be around all day, and I can either meet you or you can come to my house to see the tank.

 

I can include enough chaeto to give to both you and Mike (biomechanic) if you can hook up with him later.

 

Sending you a PM.

i am really sorry dsoz, but i will not be going up to portland on tues. i apologize for the inconvenience, but my friends that needed a ride to portland airport rented a car, so there is no need for me to travel all that way. thanks, curtis.

No problem.

So close... Oh so close. Only 15 minutes north, and you would have some great chaeto for you and a friend. Sorry you missed out.

biomekanic and curtis pm me and I'll meet you at my school. Lots of microinverts in my tank(s). I am in eugene too! I can meet up 1- 4 or so this week or comeby on the weekend to get you two set up with some live sand scoops and more.

Hi Joel,

Thanks

joel do you run a filter sock on your tank??? that is probably a good way to get pods. i think the bio in my tank is still good and sand is still good water quality continues to check out perfect.
