 Topic: Question on using IPSF
Posted: February 15 2019 at 4:26pm |
|
I have never purchased stuff from indo pacific sea farm (ipsf.com), but I have always looked at their stuff wondering if it is worth it. Since I replaced my sandbed in my tank, it is lacking some bio diversity. Any thoughts on using them or is it better to just add corals and macro algae and wait for the bio diversity to increase over time?

I haven't ordered from them in years. I'm not even sure who owns it, and what they sell. I'm going to go look because now I'm curious.

If you want some diversity, just get a cup of sand from someone.

Good advice Bill. I did place the order and it arrived today. It looks good for the most part. I'll give a more detailed review once I get home and unpack it all.

So I opened it up and took everything out last night. I was happy with everything, but the mini brittle stars and mamamia worms. It was really hard to tell on the worms if there were all 6. The brittle stars were one of the main reasons I ordered with them. They were very small and I should have had 12, but I struggled to even find 6. The only other thing is that it seemed a bit expensive for what I got. It was just about 160.00 for all this. I definitely could have gone the route that Bill suggested and it would have been much less.

Note: they did a really good job packing everything to ensure it arrived alive. They included a small amount of macro algae with each item. Also, the live sand include extra snails and hermit crabs.
