I've been talking to the seapod guy. He had a problem that wiped out much of his cultures so he has been out of stock. Someone mixed rotifers in with the pod tanks or something like that (I don't know squat about culturing this stuff). He also has expanded his facility to try and keep up with demand. I was told that there are 3-4 species of pods with more to be added. Sounded like he was getting them started from species he finds in his fuge on his own tank. So they should be good for seeding a tank as well as food. Hopefully I'll have them in stock in the next week or so, I will know more then.

Also he said that the shelf life is currently up to 6 months and counting for a bottle of pods. I don't know how he is pulling that off, but it's cool if it's true.
