Free Macroalgae
« on: October 13, 2009, 20:59:52 »
Below is a list of Ohio Reef Members that regularly prune their macro algae and give it away for FREE. You can them by clicking on their name. Note: you must have a minimum of 10 posts to send a PM and we will probably not feel comfortable inviting you to our homes until we know you not some weirdo.

If you have some to share post up the type of Macroalgae you have and we will get you added to the list.

I kept it for the longest time, but no one ever wanted any...and I didn't have any tangs.  I got nervous about it crashing my system (even though I'd had it for 2.5 years and it never went sexual)...so I threw it all out.

I'm not 100% sure what I have is Halimeda, but it's a calcerous species that's really similar.  It grows like a cactus...and is less invasive than most other algaes.  Since it's calcerous, it's more slow growing...and sucks calcium as well as other nutrients.

Who's the closest?  Where are you located?

I was over at Monforts Aquarium on the west side of Cincinnati and they have red gracilaria for sale along with a couple of different types of caulerpa and chaeto. If I knew you wanted some, I'd have picked some up. I think they are asking $3 for a chunk of it. Next time you're down there, it might be worth checking out.

Ah, sorry for not updating this thread.  I picked some up about a month ago, and it is growing quite nicely (but slowly).  It didn't travel very well, so it broke all apart in my sump, so I just have a billion tiny pieces re-growing.  Good to know though in case I lose it...can be quite troublesome to grow how I am trying to grow it (along with chaeto & halimeda under the same lighting and the wrong flow for it.)
