Hi there.
I have quite limited experience in saltwater tanks. When I was in my teens (much older now) I had a 20G saltwater tank which lasted for about 5-6 months before it crashed. I had many different fresh water tanks for many years - but I found the experience between fresh water and salt water not even close (salt water was imo much much harder to maintain).
Anyhoo.
I'm looking to do something a little 'outside the norm' so Im hoping I can get some advice and information.
I would like to grow Red Asparagus Algae for culinary purposes. I understand (from limited research) that this is a very difficult form of Algae to grow. Im not really interested in fish/coral but I will have them as well if I need to in order to develop a proper eco-system (which I suspect is required).
Could anyone tell me if they have experience growing Red Asparagus Algae? I understand it needs to be attached to rocks and have a significant current.
Does anyone know where its possible to get some? Reefcleaners lists it but I contacted them and they dont sell it.
Eventually I would like to try after I have a tank setup and it cycles etc and I feel my research is in a spot where I have some idea of what Im doing.
Thanks in advance for any information.
