Hi all,
Building my first reef tank. Currently fishless cycling so I'm beginning to think about my refugium. My refugium as part of my sump is 15H x 9W x 17D. I'm planning to use rubble vs sand.
My two questions are:
1. What's a good starter algae/plant? I'm assuming chaeto?
and...
I have:
4 Quarts of Chaeto for sale. I'm asking $15/each shipped.
5 - 16oz bottles of Nannochloropsis Phyto. They were cultured using f/2 WITHOUT silicates. For this reason, and due to the nature of Nanno, it's not quite as dark as other phytoplanktons. This phyto is alive, and it's dense. I'm...
AlgaeBarn has a fresh batch of Clean Chaeto back in stock! Check out our other macroalgae on our website. Our macroalgae is clean and quarantined!
We have several other types of macroalgae in stock, such as Sea lettuce! We hope to have some of our more exotic macroalgaes back in stock next...
I'm selling a brand new, never-been-used, Kessil H380. My build plans changed and I won't be needing this light. It is in absolutely brand-new condition, and comes in the original box with everything that you get if you bought it new at the store--power supply, power cable, manual, warranty...
It's time to trim my chaeto again I will have 5 sandwhich bag full for sale $30 shipped(within the States only) to your door. I accept Paypal as a form of payment. If you are interested feel free to DM me.
Hi All,
Every week it seems like I'm harvesting at least a baseball size worth of Chaeto from my fuge and I'm willing to sell it for $5 instead of tossing it in the compost bin. Let me know if you're interested. I'm located in Signal Hill 90755.
This is one of those things that has baffled me since rejoining the hobby earlier this year. Why doesn't macro algae seem to do well in the display, despite all corals thriving?
More specifically, does a lack of red/white light deprive the macro algae of the spectrum it requires to thrive...
so i have a new 300g with a 100g sump (see my build for details) and i have 2 kessil h80's in the refugium section of the sump with a bunch of broken up pieces of live rock. i put some
Chaeto in a while back and it seems to continue to die off, i have tried pulling lights down a bit and tried...
Chaeto growing a lot under Kessil H80. I can tightly fill a gallon freezer ziplock bag for $25 plus $8 shipping. Let me know! I'm in Southern California.
i have 2 h80 kessil's and they can be tweaked to the red spectrum or blue spectrum and i am trying to grow some algae but not sure where to set lights, under the blue there did not seem to be any growth so i switched to red but not sure that is right??
please give me thoughts as the chaeto...
I'm about to start my new tank up; might fill today or tomorrow.
I will be running Chaeto in the fuge to home some pods and to export nutrients. It's set up with a big ol' Kessil grow light.
I intended on grabbing some from Algea Barn with some pods. Sold Out.
I then went to look at...
I have tried for weeks around my LFS and even resorted to Algae barn but no one around me is selling Chaeto. I was just wondering if anyone would be willing to pack some up (small amount) and ship it.
Hello, finishing my 150 gallon tank. I have the best equipment in this build so this might be a dumb question. for the refugium down below, should I just use my marinland led (2.7 watts) which great chaeto well in the back of my biocube 29? Or just I upgrade to the kessil H80?
This thread is a spin-off from the @mcarroll very successful Dino thread
The purpose is to discuss methods for removal and fighting against a particular strain of dinoflagellate - Large Cell Amphidinium. It seems to make up about a third of the cases of dinos.
The reason this strain gets its...
hello all for sale I have my kessil h380. I’m asking for $280 ( negotiatable)as it is only a few weeks old, and I used it for 3 nights. It works perfectly and looks like it was never touched. I tried to set up a refugium but my plan did not work. As of this posting I’m at work and can get pics...
I am currently running one of the TaoTronics: https://www.amazon.com/TaoTronics-Lights-Hydroponics-Organic-Applicable/dp/B01HPIPM70/ref=pd_rhf_se_p_img_4?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=0S5ZTPDSN1R17HRXJ3Y1
on my 10x12x18 (LxWxH) refugium and not having the desired results with Chaeto. In fact I...
Hey all,
So I currently have a refugium that is lit by a single Kessil H80 but I am not really seeing the results I was hoping for, based on how little par it actually puts out from BRS's video, I was wondering if 2 H80's would be comparable or at least 75% comparable to an H380 or if I...
Does anyone in the east valley have any chaeto I can purchase? Haven't found a LFS that has any and not really wanting to pay for shipping for any of the online vendors.
Trying to reduce some of my nitrates (ie hair algae growth) and would like to add some Chaeto and maybe some other beneficial types of macroalgae in my fuge. I am planning on adding a Kessil H80 light as well. Looking for someone that may be harvesting some of theirs. Gladly will pay for it...
