Local Source for Chaeto?

[ZZZ]

Hey folks, based upon my water tests this evening it looks like my tank has finally managed to clear through its initial cycle. It took almost 4 weeks but finally managed to get through.

For the first time I got 0 ammonia and 0 nitrites and nitrates came out to 10 ppm, calcium was 420, dkh was 9, but my phosphates were .5 ppm.

I would like to find a small bit of chaeto to add to my tank but it seems like the lfs in the santa rosa/sonoma county area don't have any. Are you guys aware of any spots that may have some for sale?

I am a bit worried because I have some kind of macro algae already sprouting in my fuge that I don't want spreading into the DT so I am hoping that the chaeto will out compete it and not allow it to keep growing.

Any info you guys can throw my way would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Z

Thanks,
