I really, really need macro algae!

[Damsel13]

Can anyone help me? I am looking for a ball of chaeto(sp). I had a good amount and it was helping my nitrates but my tang liked it so much I couldn't help feeding it all to him .

Any ideas would be appreciated. My LFS doesn't sell macro algae anymore.

Thanks in advance.

Very unusual for a Tang to eat Chaeto. It's one of the Macros that most fish won't eat. What part of Cali are you in?

if worst comes to worst you can find some on Ebay

If you have a local club you can usually find people to give it to you......

but if not........These were all on the first page in the livestock classifieds

My naso eats it like spaghetti.

Hi Deb,

We have a mess of it - $25 bag + freight from WA.

Best,
Wil

a mess of it? That sounds like what I am looking for. How big is the bag and I hope it doesn't have baby aiptasias in it. It would be way cool to get some. Not aiptasias but Cheato
Thanks,

Jeff's exotic Fish in Costa Mesa hooked me up! My Tang is attacking it!!!!!!!! Jeff did me a favor, he usually doesn't sell it. It was five dollars for lot's. My Tang and Dwarf Angel are way happy.

Did that include shipping????? Wow, beats the heck out of $25 bucks plus shipping!!!!

 

[Damsel13]

no shipping I live a block away. Shipping is the part that is expensive. Thank you for your offer. I know it is hard to ship stuff. But I have to say I did get one aiptasia...I am going to get it out today. Do you ever get any of that purple macro algae Wil?

I would be interested.

I have a sandwich size baggie I'll ship for $10 if anyone is interested. I need to prune it back ASAP. PM me and I'll give you my paypal. Can have it out in the mail next day.

 

[Damsel13]

Purple?? What is it exactly? 10 dollars? I am interested.
