Refugium algae packs $49 shipped

d6dd9c8dae85da9fc88c4bbf77601d1d.jpg


Three packs going out today.


I think I’ve let everyone who contacted me know that I could ship today already. But, if I missed someone, PM me for PayPal info in the next half hour to be included in today’s shipment.
 
None of them root so they’ll either float or you can glue them to a rock. I do the latter.
 
What lights are you using to grow?
Do any of the macros go asexual?

I’ve never had anything go asexual. Primary light is southern exposed window. I have kessils for backup on cloudy days and winter.
 
Shipping more packs next Tuesday. PM me if interested.
 
The algae in my refugium needs pruning!

Do u still have an algae pack available?
 
I am interested in getting one in the next few weeks. I am rebuilding my sump and make the Refugio’s twice as big. How many more can you make?

Let me know when you're ready. I most likely will be able make another.
 
Is any of this algae edible by fish? How does this algae compare to Chaeto (pros/cons)?

It's all edible by fish and your tangs would make short work of it. I often will feed extra to my tangs (in a separate tank) and it must be quite tasty as it's gone in minutes.

As for pros/cons over Cheato? Cheato is fast growing usually but didn't really grow great for me. I have some in my system but the these outcompete it. I assume there's something in my water that they like or can consume more efficiently than Cheato. My understanding of Cheato is it's very good at removing Nitrogen. I have a very high coral load and often have to dose Nitrates, so it's not something I'm looking to remove. Another pro is they're beautiful.
