would anyone be intrested in some macroalgea?
- Thread starter sharkguy
- Start date
Would be intrested if: you can ship to canada (many mail order sites don't), I can get some money to pay for it and it will grow under 1.2 watts per gallon of forescent light (plan to upgrade soon) and usually lots of sunlight.
Also do you know if you can get any soft corals. (anyonwe else PM me if you can get frags out of your tank for a resonable price)I am looking mostly for zoanthids, mushrooms,star polyps and other low light corals (2wpg once I upgrade).
The algae may end up being tang food but I realy like how your tank looks and my LFS has never has a lot or plants shown in the pics of your tank. two or three plants is all I want If everything works out right.

Red Gracilaria Macro Algae - A Superior diet for Tangs and Angels!
Red Gracilaria Macro Algae, sometimes referred to as Tang Heaven, is the thin branchy Gracilaria Tikvahiae. This macro algae is a very appealing addition to your saltwater reef tank. It's very durable and will thrive under most lighting conditions. This is the most natural and extremely nutritional seaweed diet for all tangs, pygmy angels and the popular ornamental surgeonfishes. There is enough in this portion offered to feed a couple of good sized Tangs for a month. The Gracilaria Macro Algae is also known to combat, prevent and cure head and lateral line erosion disease. You can add directly as food to your main tank, or grow it in your sump or refugium as a living filter to remove ammonia, nitrates and phosphates. Studies have shown macroalgae biofilters are able to help stabalize the pH of the water and also aerate the water in the integrated system. Macro Seaweed draws an extraordinary wealth of mineral elements from the sea that can account for up to 36% of its dry mass. This percentage offers a wide variety of minerals, i.e. macronutrients such as sodium, calcium, magnesium, potassium, chlorine, sulphur and phosphorus, as well as other trace elements essential for avoiding deficiencies... and these elements include iodine, iron, zinc, copper, manganese, boron, nickel and cobalt. Two of these elements are particularly valuable, (i.e. iodine and calcium), both of which are sorely lacking in most captive fishes diets. Gracilaria Macro Algae is the richest plant sources of calcium. A great buy, especially if your interests are in improving the overall health of your fish, which will be evident in thier increased weight, brighter color and the healing of lateral line erosison.
Macro Algae Price: $11.99 - (5 ounces)
Shipping Cost Only: $6.85 -(USPS 1-3 days service)

thats a lil tougher top find but yes i have a lil of it i may need to go get more if u wanted i have a few in my tank
On funny note, Red Gracilaria tastes quite good. We call it "ogo" limo. It makes a great fresh kimchee.
ill keep yah in mind once i get my setup complete.....im still lookin where to get live rock at a decent price.....for the price they want for it in stores...it would be cheaper to drive to the sea and get some
it is if u have a boat and dont mind swiimming i wouldnt recommend the rocks on the shores tho the water is pretty nasty to keep nice fish with
if you could i need a rough quote for some shipped to 14532 (upstate ny).i don't need much as i only have a 1.5 fuge just would like something tangs go crazy for and easy care
