AlgaeBarn
A Colorado aquaculture farm rather than a general shop, focused on the living side of a reef tank: copepods, phytoplankton, macroalgae for refugiums and captive bred fish. Pod mixes such as 5280 Pods and EcoPods start around 30 to 55 dollars per bottle, and the cultures are grown clean, without hitchhiker pests riding along. Orders ship on set days with an alive on arrival guarantee.
Handy for anyone feeding a mandarin dragonet, seeding a new refugium or fighting nuisance algae with macro instead of chemicals. Nobody should expect pumps, lights or salt here, since the catalogue stays deliberately narrow. Live cultures also mean timing matters: a bottle left on a hot porch will not survive the wait.
