Anyone here ever buy one of those refugium seeding kits

If so:

Who did you order it from?

What did it come with?

Did you notice any difference in your refugium as time went on?

etc., etc.

Been thinking about buying one of these kits to add some new life to our refugium, but I was wondering if it was actually worth it.

Thanks for any input!

I have bought from both www.inlandaquatics.com and www.ipsf.com with good results. Each company has a few things that the other doesn't. The little snails and worms and pods help to add biodiversity and give your sandbed the critters needed to keep it clean.

Yeah, that's what we're looking for. I'll check out their sites, thanks.

I don't believe Marc Weiss sells a kit with live animals. As far as I know, they sell bottled supplements, some may advertise some type of live bacteria. Those are not what the OP is inquiring about.
