Im looking to get some macroalgea to put in my sumps ref. Problem is where to get it in north alabama and what would be my best choice?
Thanks all

Chaetomorpha is what's recommended usually since it does not go white and melt like caulerpa through sporulation. In an ultra low nutrient tank in which vodka or other carbon (vinegar, sugar, etc.) is added, caulerpa racemosa will survive while chaetomorpha will go brittle and disintegrate. If you are not dosing carbon, I recommend that you use Chaetomorpha.

As for where to get it, CRA should have some or local hobbyists would be another good source.

I need to buy some also, where is a good place to do so. I would prefer online. Any suggestions

I see some on sale periodically on live stock selling section of RC and other forums. Gulf Coast Ecosystem has some in stock presently.

I need some. Would you ship to Daphne, AL?

Satchamo - Have you tried posting in Mobile Bay Reefkeeper's site?

Didn't know it was there-right in my own backyard. Thanks!!

If you were willing to pay to have it shipped I guess I could. But seeing as how it would need to be overnighted you would pay 5X what the stuff is worth to have it shipped. Stuff normally sells for about $5 a bag and shipping would be $20-30
Look locally and see if you can find any. If not and you get desperate let me know and ill ship some to you

This place looks like it has great choices. I like the fact that you can order a "pack" which would give you a few choices. The only thing about these guys is their variety varies with the season.

Lot of people on various forums sell chaeto for like $10 shipped.

I have some chaeto and a sand growing blade macro dont know what it is called. $10 shipped sounds fair. I will give a little of both.

 

[hardimanm]

This is an old post. I have a sump full of the stuff now.
Thanks anyway

Brandon,

I need some Cheato and you won't have to ship it. If you want, I can swing by this weekend to get some.
