Ask Darren Directly
Most reef keepers who contact us aren't looking for a helpdesk. They're trying to solve a specific problem, a mandarin that won't feed, a rotifer culture that keeps crashing, a breeding attempt that isn't going the way it should.
That's exactly what this page is for.
Every message comes to me personally. I've been culturing and working with live marine food for over 18 years, and I'd rather spend five minutes helping you choose the right product than have you order the wrong one. If you're not sure where to start, just tell me what you keep and what's happening in your tank. We'll go from there.

Sometimes it's quicker to talk. If you've got a specific animal in trouble or a question that's easier to explain out loud, call during business hours and you'll speak to someone who actually keeps reefs.
Calls may be recorded for quality assurance. Outside business hours, leave a message with your preferred callback time and we'll be back to you the next working day.

Not sure which product is right for your tank?
Don't guess. The difference between copepods, rotifers, and a zooplankton blend matters and the wrong choice wastes your money and your fish's time. Use the form below, describe what you keep, and I'll point you in the right direction before you order.
Your reef deserves to be fed correctly. Let's make sure it is.
