Macro

[Timbo]

Anyone have lots of different macro for fuge? Looking for different strains and colors for a display fuge tied into main display. Ideally would like to pick up 5+ varieties.

if you go to Jamaica Bay, Cross bay blvd parking lot on the island, there are at least 3 species of macros there, the red gracilas, regular ulva and the thin long ulva, There are other red algae species, a stringy one that fish dont like and also some kelp, but those are not too useful. easily harvested during low tide.
Give them a good fresh water bath before use. or grow them out in a separate container before introducing into your tank.

Algaebarn has some really great macro and is worth checking out.

how good do they do in a reef where temp is normally 75-80?

Check out Gulf Coast Ecosystems. They have an extensive list.

Reefman, the red gracilaria and green ulva are the same that you buy to feed your tangs. During the summer and fall, I can easily find a bucket of it.
