Copepods-BACK IN STOCK-LIMITED!!

--UPDATE--
I haven't forgotten about anyone posting here. Several of the initial shipments didnt work out due to the holiday season. As of tomorrow, everyone that had issues with the shipment should have had their troubles fixed.
The copepod cultures are coming along and I am culturing an additional strain Tigriopus californicus (sold as Tigger Pods by Reeds). However, I need to source some Bio balls so that the copepods have more surface area to accumulate so denser cultures are possible.
This coming batch may be delayed slightly as the density of the cultures isn't where I was hoping. I am not willing to sell less dense bottles of pods so that I can sell more. This delay is rather unfortunate, however. I was going to be using the revenue to purchase more shelving so that I can supply copepods more reliably.
In the mean time, I will be selling gut-loaded brine shrimp to raise some funding. I would like to put more money into this venture and increase the number of copepods I can produce, however, as a college student, this operation is funded almost entirely by selling these cultures and money I obtain from tutoring.

I did have a culture of Apocyclops panamensis and Tigriopus californicus going. My apocylcops culture died...probably from neglect. I'd love to chat with you Kris as I know you were selling copepods and phytoplankton (reefuel) about a year ago. I heard what happened to your supply at reefstock, im quite sorry to hear that happened.
I'll be trying to take out a small loan so that I can expand the culture selection.
Chad:
I do have more of the tigriopus californicus and I should making it to the Feb event.

Hey Steve,
I'll check my stock but it is looking relatively low. I'll be bottling them Friday so I'll let you know if I have enough. I should (hopefully) have a ton of live gut-loaded brine shrimp(more nutritious than babe brine shrimp) and my Ocean Magik live phytoplankton, a blend of isochrysis galbana, tetraselmis, and nannochloropsis if you are interested.
