I've been considering purchasing copepods online, mainly because I'm interested in getting a Mandarin, but I don't have the luxury of time or space to cultivate a colony on my own.
Currently, I have a 3-foot tank with about 70-75 pounds of live rock. I'd love to hear from anyone who's bought copepods online - what's the general price range and how's the service been for you?

I've bought from Reefworks before, they're alright. No problems with my order.

I've tried 5582jbsmarines on eBay, got a 110ml bottle of copepods. It did the job. Also used phytoplus "podz" a few times, £4.50 for a 30ml bottle. Worth every penny, got more in the smaller bottle than the 110ml one from the other seller.

I've also used reefworks, no complaints here. Their 3-month pack is the way to go, works out a bit cheaper. Delivery's always on the same day, week in week out.
