Other than beng fish food, what vital role do Tigger Pods play in my tank? I'm debating on adding a bottle if it would benefit the reef system as a whole and not just for fish food.

well...many corals will eat them as well. the tigger pods are pelagic and will eat water-borne algae spores and other phytoplankton.

i have heard mixed thoughts on them.. i have never used them personally, so i cant offer direct feedback.

i have however used OceanPods, and they have worked well. i used them to inoculate my new fuge and now im cultivating them in a tank

What did you hear Rob?

i honestly dont recall the details, which is why i refrained from comment.
also never using them .. yeah, not much i can saw.. i was just stating that i had used another type/brand and liked them..
sorry maybe those were comment better left unstated by me.. :D

I thought I remembered reading sdomethign about of tanks not being a good/thriving environemnt for that particular species. Something about temp and salinity. But I don't remember specifics

I went to the Western Marine conference and won a raffle and got 6 bottles. I talked to the pod lady at the conference and she said they were a cool water type and would not reproduce in your system. But they were great for a live feeding. Kinda of expensive food source.

That pod lady is wrong. I use them and have watched them reproduce.

Ron Shimek states the same thing as pod lady.

Maybe the pods you got were different. These are large for pods. Called tiger pod. Very easy to see with the eye.
