Chaetomorpha

[AllSignsPointToFish]

I need some chaetomorpha for my sump, but I don't know anyone in the area that can spare some. What's the best way to get some? How did you all get some to seed your sump?

this belongs in the macroalgae sections just for future reference.

you can order online for pretty cheap, most LFS that sell saltwater will have it or can order it for you, or you can get on a local reef group either through our local groups section, or facebook and ask. most people will have some to spare. also a great way to seed your tank with pods. pods love cheato.

My bad. I totally forgot about the Marine Plants section.

My problem is that my local reefing group is not very active, and I don't really have a conveniently located LFS.

Is there a Florida forum website.... here in Carolina there are a few. Good place to connect with local reefers.... many who give cheato away free all the time like myself

 

[AllSignsPointToFish]

Yeah, but like I said, it's not very active. I will try there, but I don't have much hope. LOL

 

[Dtackett]

you could probably just go collect it from the coast lol imagine how many pods would be in it.

Nah, I don't think that stuff survives here It still gets relatively cold during wintertime here. Nothing compared to Ohio, mind you, but it still freezes here.

i used to live in cape coral/fort myers. i know it can get cold. not sure where you are relative to the coast but i bet you can find some good macro not far off the coast.

 

[AllSignsPointToFish]

I'm about 20 minutes from Pensacola. I'm not convinced it really gets cold in Fort Myers. LOL

hey it hit like 45 one year... i mean it was still like 70 that afternoon but it hit 45 lol

We get 20s and even teens most winters during the night. It warms up during the day, but we can get a hard freeze here.
