Looking for Cheato or other macro algae with pods

Sorcha2 · 12/11/2017, 02:51 PM

Hi,
I'm actually a college student out of Rolla but occasionally make it up to St. Louis. I've got a Mandarin and I'm in the process of setting up a larger refugium becuase he keeps devouring all the pods. I've heard some people use macro algae for nutrient export and being a poor college student figured I'd check and see if anyone had some they wanted to get rid of preferably with pods.

I have a lot. I was getting ready to take some to Corals and More, which I do every two weeks. I live in St.Charles. Let me know if you can come my way and I'll set you up with a big bag.

Sweet I'd really appreciate that. I'm going to try and make a trip to St. Louis this Friday.

Do you sell it to them?

I've never been able to get my cheato to grow...until I took my GFO reactor offline. It went from a clump that was off color and about the size of a tennis ball to bright green and bowling ball size in about 3 weeks. I struggled to find a single amphipod in that part of my fuge, now they're everywhere. Big, fat, and happy.

If Lei buys it, I might have to do that when it's time to remove some.

Hey I managed to get some. Seascape had it in again.

Ouch, Im sure you paid a lot for it from Seascape.(Anything more than free is a lot). Lots of people in the club give chaeto away for free (myself included) thats over stuffed with pods/worms/life.

Next time get some from someone here in the club.

Yeah that was my original plan but I never could get connected with anyone from the club to get some and I don't make it to St. Louis very often. I need to try and make it to a meeting sometime and actually meet some other people who keep saltwater tanks becuase I don't really know anyone who does.
