AlgaeBarn’s NEW Ultimate Galaxy Pack

The winner of the Ultimate Galaxy Pack, will save over $110! 

Our NEW Ultimate Galaxy Pack is a great way to help improve the health and vitality of your reef aquarium. This bundle includes all the nutrition of live foods to keep your reef critters healthy and happy. The live phyto and bacterioplankton in this feeding system will help keep the water clean. In fact, this live feeding system maintains water quality with every feeding.

The pod species in this pack will get right to work on eliminating detritus and film algae. The benefits of live foods are many. Most importantly, the nutrition of live foods cannot be matched. But live food also makes it easier to maintain a healthy and beautiful reef tank.

AlgaeBarn’s Galaxy Pod 4-Pack

The winner of our upcycle contest will save over $400 with a FREE 4 Pack Galaxy Pod subscription for 6 months!

The Galaxy Pods makes up a critical component of any successful reef tank. Galaxy pods contain a blend of five distinct species. These pods provide a long-term and sustainable food source for your fish and inverts by supplying pods at all stages of growth! And the range in the pods’ life cycles grants more biodiversity to the reef tank.

AlgaeBarn’s Single Galaxy Combo Pack

Our Single Galaxy Combo Pack originally retails for $80. One lucky winner can have the healthiest and most well-fed reef tank in the galaxy for FREE! 

The Galaxy Combo Pack is a great way to keep a reef tank healthy and well fed. This pack comes with five species of pods, which keep the reef tank clean and fed. The Galaxy Combo also includes a bottle of OceanMagik. With each dose, four types of phyto are feeding those pods and other filter feeders a bunch of nutrients. In addition, all the Galaxy Pods are fully viable and can reproduce in captivity. This means generations of pods will be living out their entire lifecycle in the reef tank!

How to participate in the Upcycling Contest

Once you’ve created your masterpiece and are ready to share it with the AlgaeBarn community, submit a video and some images of your work to us. We want to give everyone a fair chance at winning our prizes so that each submission will have a 30-day voting period. After that, we will tally up the votes and announce the winner on September 5, 2022!

These prizes are a fantastic deal for every reef keeper, and they are ideal for the little reef critters’ menus! These bundles are beneficial for every reef tank.
