Hey guys! I realize it's a lot to trust a new company to feed your reef, and that reviews from other reefers can help a great deal. Of course, you can always check out our Facebook reviews: Log in or sign up to view

But I also wanted to show y'all reviews we've received from other sources as well, especially on Reef2Reef. We've consolidated some of the reviews we've received in various R2R threads here, along with the original source link so you can check them out yourself!

From Daniel@R2R, staff member and super moderator of Reef2Reef (source: Save Money With Monthly or Biweekly Subscriptions):

Got a snacklepack for my reef from Dinkins Aquatic Gardens. Great product! Super packed! Great packaging! Great service! I'm happy to recommend!

From Bobby Mansfield, on Facebook (source Log in or sign up to view):

Let me start by saying wow what an amazing company. 1st order received and was sent a bonus gift to be one of the first customer with Amphipods. Plus a hand written note and stickers. Who does that kind of thing now days.. this company right here. 2nd order placed and received a box pack with all kinds of goodies. More Amphipods, baby brine shrimp, and oh the reef snack pack and Phytoplankton. Everything was alive and well. Converted to a monthly subscription and saved more money. FYI my fish loved the live food and my corals are looking better than ever. If you have read this far..just do it and order something, you can't go wrong with any of their products. If you don't know what you are doing, they will answer your message within minutes and teach you everything.

I usually dont do reviews but holy moly what a great deal! I received my Pods and Phyto today and there are soooo many pods in this one bottle the pic doesnt do Justice!!

Also their packaging is A+ with a nice card inside thank you for your service. Even my wife was impressed and she hates when I spend money on this hobby lol

thank you @Dinkins Aquatic Gardens

Dinkins Aquatic Gardens has the best products and their customer service matches it!!! Dinkins Aquatic Gardens is hands down THE BEST!!!!!

From jhuntstl on R2R (source: Very impressed with packaging!)

Did not expect my copepod order to be shipped with the same care you'd expect from a coral or fish delivery.

I got four 16oz bottles of pods and one 16oz phyto. They were packed in a pretty big insulated box with cooling packs inside.

Very much appreciated as I couldn't make it home until a few hours after delivery. 100 degrees today, but everyone is alive and kicking!

From migs on R2R (source: Live Phyto & Pods from Dinkins Aquatic Gardens):

Big thank you to Dinkins. I messed my order and they corrected to give me a better deal. Already dosed the phyto and my copepods - the bottle had a ton of them swimming around. Thank you!

From PedroYoung on R2R (source: Got my order, review):

Placed my first order with Dinkins a week ago. Placed my order for a 1/2Gallon Snacklebox and 16 oz Phyto on Sunday evening. Qualified for free shipping ;). They shipped the next day via UPS 2-day and I had my order Wed before lunch.
1-great communication throughout, had an email confirming the order, then an email when it shipped with tracking. Once I had the package I had a question regarding holding the pods till lights out (refrigerate or not) and they responded to my email w/in 15 minutes.
2-very good packaging, tight fit, good cool packs
3- Quality seems very good. Most alive and active pods I've ever bought (you could see them dancing with the naked eye) and phyto isn't stanky.
4- Nice personal touches, note inside thanking me for the order, some stickers and they upgraded my phyto to the 1/2 gallon size.

From glency on R2R (source: Dinkins is awesome):

My local “pod guy” is having issues with his cultures so I gave Dinkins a shot. I am pleased. Ordered four big bottles for $100, free shipping. Pods came in alive, active, and plenty. Also included was a personal note thanking me for my order along with a pen and some cool stickers. It’s refreshing to receive an order from someone that values customers. Thanks. Not my last order. Glen, San Diego.

From GarrettT on R2R (source: WOW!):

Ordered some pods from this company since they were in close proximity and all I can say is WOW... Seriously, the packaging and quality of product is second to none. They even added their own live phyto blend as a freebie. I don't write reviews often, really I think this is my first, but wanted to support a good company and share my experience. If I didn't enjoy making my own phytoplankton, I would certainly go through them. Keep it up!

From Hankcorals on R2R (source: Live Phyto & Pods from Dinkins Aquatic Gardens):

Sorry been a busy week, got my pods on Thursday and my buddy Spot the mandarin has been going to town. Great packaging and product! Highly recommend to anyone starting a new reef or looking for some CUC... Pods are great and a nice treat for those Mandarin fans!!

From ktfloyd01 on R2R (source: Live Phyto & Pods from Dinkins Aquatic Gardens and Live Phyto & Pods from Dinkins Aquatic Gardens):

I just received my order and WOW!!!!! Thank you!!!!!...You have to order some! I am overly impressed. You can see the pods swimming; the shrimp was a free gift, and it is well done by Dinkins.

From mike89t on R2R (source: GIVEAWAY - PRIZE CLAIMED - CONTEST - $1,000 in PRIZES!! Dinkins Aquatic Gardens' Snacklepack Giveaway!! 3 WINNERS!!):

Received my snacklepack today. Everything arrived in great condition. Tons of pods swimming around! Darkest phytoplankton I’ve ever seen. Super happy with my order!

From Alex Merida on R2R (source: GIVEAWAY - PRIZE CLAIMED - CONTEST - $1,000 in PRIZES!! Dinkins Aquatic Gardens' Snacklepack Giveaway!! 3 WINNERS!!):

The best thing to do is subscribe to get a snacklepack, which consist in a bottle of live pods and a bottle of the awesome phytoplankton blend of six different type, which will give your pods a very rich nutrition to thrive in your reef. I love this product.

From realfish on the Atlanta Reef Club forums (source: Dinkins Aquatic Gardens Giveaway!):

Just placed an order last week. Received everything quickly and as promised. Would love to order more.

From fin mike (source: Just placed my fist order!)

Bud, the Phyto will help out tremendously. I received my snackle pack a few weeks ago. Came in great. Very pleased. I did the subscription because I believe in the positive effects so much. Highly recommend!

From ganreef on R2R (source: I would like to take a moment and welcome Dinkins Aquatic Gardens as the newest sponsor of the Reef2Reef community!)

Bought Phyto from them. Good quality, fast shipping and good value. Welcome.
