Need Macroalgae

[serpentman]

Anyone local have some extra macroalgae they are looking to sell or give away?

I am looking for anything other than Chaeto as I have a ton already. I just upgraded my refugium and would like to add a little variety (i.e. caulerpa, etc.)

Are you from around Akron"?

do you know that caulerpa can go sexual on you if you don't leave the lights on 24/7? Chaeto wont.

I have some Mermaids cup caulerpa and feather caulerpa. I would be happy to trade for some Chaeto. Send me a mail to meet up. I am on the East side in Highland Heights a few minutes off I-270.

I am new to the growing Chaeto/ Caulerpa. Is it better to leave the lights on 24/7 or on opposite of main tank lights???? I have a bunch but cant really seem to get it to grow much. Also how much light does it need? I have a 35w on it now.

Well the photosynthesis will raise PH. So some people run their fuge lights opposite their main lights to even out the PH swings. If you don't have a PH issue, no reason to turn them off. Chaeto never goes sexual, caulerpa does if left in the dark. I have a 6500k 39w bulb on my 10g fuge. My Chaeto is about baseball size.
