Default Copepods

I'm wanting to buy some pods to put in my main tank and in my refugium...Where has everyone been finding them for a good price. I've found them at reef nutrition but kinda pricey, just wanted to know if there was any other good sites???

I'm just wanting good pods for the price...I'm weary of E-bay a lot of the time because I don't have feedback from everyone on how good the merchandise really is. I've been recommended to reef nutrition and I've looked there but just wanted to see if everyone else really likes the products they provide since it seems that they have not been in the marine industry very long...

Aquaticentertainment on ebay sells 1,000+ pods for $39.99 and free shipping. I've bought pods from numerous places and they are hands down best bang for your buck !

You can also get pods from saltwaterfish.com. You can also grow your own in a Ball jar on the window sill.
