where to buy macro algea.

[fish keeper 7]

i want to put macro algae in my pipefish/mandarin tank but i dont want to order it. i want caulerpa, some other phosphate/nitrate eating plant and just a bunch of different macros. anyone know where i can get some in the NYC NJ areas?

I wonder if anyone at the event will have any? I'd be interested in some too.

I have a lot of feather caulerpa in my sump,, since a few people have expressed interest, I'll be donating some portions of it to MR to sell at the swap!

animal kingdom doesn't have anything cheap. i can link up and give you some sea grass

 

[Lenny718]

Well I paid 5 bucks for a HUGE ball of cheato so if that is expensive your in the wrong hobby. Or you could take Jonny up on his offer, he hooked me up with some to.

i wasn't thinking chaeto. chaeto is basically free lol. Im guess you never price checked animal kingdom when they had macros other than chaeto..

 

[fish keeper 7]

they have macro at animal kingdom? hmm i know them very well i dont go in there that often anymore though lol i used to go there everyyy single tuesday and wednesday for there shipments. ill check it out tomorrow, thanks =]

Pacific aqua farms sells a couple of types of macro. I got some nice red graci from them. They have some good packeage deals on different macros and the shipping is cheap.

did not know if i should start a new thread or not but while everyone is on the topic... is it worth adding some macro algae to my wet/dry converted to a sump i have an amiracle 150 and i keep the water level high in it...anyways after heater/skimmer pump there is no room left for making a refugium (dsp etc, but would having macro algae floating around with a sump light be beneficial (currently running a FOWLR set up heavy bio load, soon transferring everything to a 125)

it wouldnt hurt, but chaeto can clog up your pump intakes if it is just floating around in your sump.

And most Caulerpa species will go (A) sexual when you least expect it.

George - I think the species of Caulerpa you're trying to ID is C. serrulata.

I have a couple different kinds of macro algaes. They are free. You just pay for the shipping cost. I'm in Atlanta, GA.
PM if you are intested.
