Where to buy Live Plants/Algae such as Ulva?????

[lunchie]

Just wondering if anyone out there has had any good experiences with buying live plants such as ulva or other forms of live algae via the internet. I ask because I bought some at a store but the store is over 2 hours away from my house and I was looking for a more convenient way to purchase it. My fish went nuts for it...and since it is natural I feel it is the healthiest thing for them to eat.

Thanks
Deb

Hey Deb - I have never ordered macroaglae online, but try Inland Aquatics. That is the one place I can think of off the top of my head. Here is a link to Inland Aquatics - Macroalgae page. Scroll down to Sea Lettuce/Ulva fasciata. They also have refugium Flora kits. Hope this helps!

I got some Ulva and tang heaven from ipsf.com, they arrived in good shape. Can't tell you if they give you more for the same buck since I never order from other places.

Check this out. I live in Florida and called them yesterday (they have a toll free number). They will do custom packages for you, also. I know several people who have ordered from them and were quite pleased. I'm going to call and place an order for my refugium.

Will post and see if all is delivered as promised.

I bought some beautiful red and green Gracilarias from Florida Aqua Farms. It arrived quickly and packaged professionally. I even contacted them several months later with a question on lighting and pigmentation and they were very helpful.
