Anyone know where I can get macroalgae in Canada, I'd pay shipping if they are willing to ship for US sites too.
Looking for more variety than just chaeto and that one species of caulerpa lol that all stores have.
Algaebarn is like essentially 90% out of stock rn :(
I recently set-up a refugium to deal with nutrients especially Nitrate and Phosphate. I bought a bunch of Chaeto, and am using a Kessil H160 Tuna Flora...I am running it about 16 hours/day on the red setting at max intensity. My tank is 13 years old.
Any suggestions as to how I can get it to...
There are many ways to get a reef tank going these days. Curious to hear about your process once cycled. Let’s chat…
Personally, with my current build, once the tank was cycled I added some cleanup crew (love Cerith snails) for the diatoms, Chaeto macroalgae (preparing for my first fish...

Hi, I need help IDing this weird macroalgae that started randomly growing in my tank after years of owning it and not having introduced anything in months. Also any ideas on how I can get rid of it (in addition to water changes and phosphate filters)? Thank you!
Hi everyone! I need some advice and this is the best place in the world for high quality reef advice, so please bear with me and thanks in advance for your help!
Basically I was skimmerless for a couple of weeks after removing my previous skimmer to prepare the sump for a skimmer upgrade and...

Please share your experience and photos if you have them! I am loving this look and concept. Already ordered some red grape caulerpa
I am planning on just keeping a simple soft coral tank so they should benefit from this environment, right?
Thanks!
I thought Turtleweed/Maiden's hair algae (Chlorodesmis) was quite a popular macroalgae a few years back, but it never seems to be available anymore. What happened? Does this have to do with recent collection bans in the Indo-Pacific region (but isn’t Chlorodesmis also native to the Caribbean)?
Note: I do not intend to use one on my current system, but I might consider them for a smaller project.
Lately, I have seen these “Grid Filters” doing the rounds in the freshwater hobby. Though their capacity and flow rate would likely be quite low, they seem like an interesting way to...
Hey guys, I’m Bean, a sarcastic, gimpy, old broad-combat veteran turned shepherdess with a whole lot of sass and not nearly enough spare time. I used to be deep into reefing, from the late eighties through the early 2000’s, but I had to break down my reef and give my corals to locals when I...
In all seriousness, is is it safe to harvest and eat macroalgae from my own aquarium, specifically members of the Ulva genus (and possibly Caulerpa lentillifera in the future)? Is there something they would contain after having grown in my aquarium that would make them inedible or would a...
Does anyone have an idea what this green macroalgae is? I obtained it a month ago on some LFS live rock (which I assume originated from the Indo-Pacific when wild live rock was more popular). Since then, it has doubled in size, having grown to an inch across. It is smooth, and stiff yet is very...
We have all heard about strenuous, frustrating battles against the Sea fern (Bryopsis sp.) and Bubble algae (Valonia sp.), but can they be viewed in a positive light?
I have heard, on a few occasions, that Bryopsis and Valonia are excellent additions to planted marine aquariums for their...
Hello All,
Today I took out macro algae to clean and rinse and found these guys underneath the branches. they aren't moving actively and seem attached permanently to my macro. when trying to detach, they break and "head like" part stays on macro. Either it has mouth attached to macro or it...
This loaf is about to set out on an adventure...
I guess it's time for me to begin my first build thread. After suffering way too long with my previous (first) build (a temperate system with freshwater rocks and sand as well as a HOB filter that never left the diatom phase), I decided to...
A few weeks ago I accidentally brought home a sargassum crab Portunus sayi, with some water from the beach. I had one before, so I knew he needed his own tank. They eat everything. He's in a bucket for now, with a little HOB filter. I got him some sargassum, which slowly died, and he ate it. I...
I've set up a nano macro tank to grow out some algae for the 200 gallon tank. We picked up some true live rock and it came with this little guy. Looks like an asterina to me. I've seen anecdotes of some specimens munching on corals, but very few reports about their interactions with macro. He's...

Have you ever had something grow in your tank where you least expected it to? The is a piece of caulerpa that decided it was going to grow THROUGH a cabbage coral.
