Well, I wish I lived in S.C

 

[stevescg]

There are always auctions on ebay for macros

Heck, send the person some by US Priority Mail. Many macro's are tough and can last being sent by Priority Mail. Just package it up real well.

Macros must grow well down here in the south. I just tossed a huge bunch last night I cleaned out of the tank.

So...

What can a person use to start a refugium if they live in California? Any other suggestions?

I would say something other than Caulerpa sp.

Seriously tho, there are *many* other macroalgaes besides Caulerpa sp. that will do the trick as well. Chaetomorpha sp., Ulva sp., etc. Check out Inland Aquatic's website for an extensive listing of macroalgaes: http://www.inlandaquatic.com/ . Also, Midland Marine also sells a very good macroalgae for refugiums called Chaetomorpha linum:

However it looks like they're out of stock. Inland also carries this macroalgae btw. Or you could also get some off E-Bay as well. Do a search for macroalgae.

My problem is my fish store keeps trying to order some but customs stops it from enter southern california, its either illegal in orange county or southern california altogther

I just read this really interesting article...

Thanks for showing me that website...yep I think thats why I cant get macro algae,....does anyone know if there is something else out there that is close to that?

If anyone has extra, I'd love to get some macroalgae in my mailbox.

I'm setting up a new refugium, and could use the algae... if folks are just throwing it away, it would certainly be handy.

shelby and toad, sent you both email.

I hate to throw it away and shipping is a pain (I've done it in the past).
