Mad prices can not believe the price of tangs . I would not pay that type of money I bought them years ago for £50

more expensive than gem tangs now
I love the tangs you can not beat them but not for that price for that 280 you could buy few other fish that make your tank go bang with colour

Update on my out side test tub
After talking to @Subsea about out door temps and seaweed concentrate for feeding the sea weed. So I have
the temp set so if it drops lower than 55 the heater kicks in also started dosing seaweed concentrate.
So we will see if seaweed growth starts and the fish are more active with the temperature rise so things are fine on all fronts.
I did some seaweed trimming from the tub today and it all looked healthy. So great information from subsea and a big thank you from me outdoor fish keeping is a little bit different to keeping them in the house but I am getting there and no losses so far.

Have you grown dulse? It taste like bacon. When I researched commercial seaweed systems and varieties, I was surprised that dulse was a commercially ediable product in the Atlantic & Pacific Oceans. It would be a fast grower at 55-65 degrees, In addition to major & minor nutrients in seaweed concentrate, I suggest adding ammonia as a source of nitrogen. I add 1 ml NH4 for 10G of system water every other day.

Our freshly farmed dulse seaweed is nutritious, and very delicious. Oregon Seaweed grows a variety of Pacific Dulse that is very high in protein. In fact, it also holds every essential amino acid, making it a complete protein.​

It is one of the fastest growing complete proteins on the planet. It’s also a great source of several vitamins and minerals, including potassium, iodine, calcium, iron, vitamins A and C, as well as fiber and omega-3 fatty acids.​




DULSE 1#​

$50.00

One pound
Palmaria palmata

PS: Organ Seaweed sells dulse for $20/lb
Maine Seaweed sells dulse for $50/lb
