Alot of people buy nori from the grocery store or Asian food specialty store.

I have all of the seaweed I need growing in my sump. I'm not sure variety of caulerpa I have but my tangs and rabbit fish devour it in short order. I's a crazy fast grower under a 6500k LED.

I buy it a case at a time from a store online in California. 10 or 12 bags in a case, 100 sheets of 4" x 7" nori in a bag. I think my cost was something like $8 a bag.

Unfortunately I just looked at their website and it's gone! Crap. Now I have to start shopping again!

I buy a 100 pack of untoasted Laver (Korean Nori) at the Asian market for like $5 a pack.

Normally buy 4-5 packs at a time since the main Asian area of town is about 45 minutes away.

Lasts forever and the tangs (and triggers and cleaner wrasse) love it.

Same here.. I also buy Nori from the Store But we seem to be using less and less of it ... We get it From Meijer. its like 3.00 for 30 12x12 sheets. A few of our fish will not eat the green Caulerpa from the sump for some reason. But the tangs LOVE IT.

Sounds stupid I'm sure but if I buy a ton of it in a store does it go bad?

This is what I use. I have had this one pack for 2 years and its still good. It comes in a resealable bag so just be sure to keep it closed and keep the moisture resisting packet in the bag and it will last.

I get mine at the grocery store, $2 for 20 8x8 sheets. I cut them in 1/4's and store in an airtight ziplock.
Remember, this is DRIED SEAWEED. Once it gets back in the water is will be fine.
