macro algae

Have a few hitchhikers, some of which I’m (oddly?) excited about, feather dusters, bristle worms, possible spaghetti worms? But have a few more than I’m needing some ID on! Clear translucent tubes, Neon orange spots on multiple areas of rock, and the green plant looking algae? Also can’t...

I’m planning on keep 2 Pairs of sea horse in a 36 gallon with a goby of some sort to clean up their messy eating. For food I’m planning setting up a mini fridge and having a doser 3-4 times a day to feed mysis or whatever. And planning to keep macro algae and some gongonian for them And macro...

A couple months back, I was taking a stroll through the local dollar general. Well, one of 5, because when there’s one dollar general, there’s another. While looking in the sale section, I noticed a jar, a unique one at that. It was tilted sideways and looked a little..odd? Different? Strange...

Hello everyone! I have decided to dip my hands into the saltwater side of the hobby, with a twist! Something that has always kept me from saltwater tanks was a combination of the cost, the difficulty, and especially the traditional blue lights. Recently however, I discovered macroalgae tanks! I...

Hello, I’m realising a gorgonian tank and macroalgae would suit in just perfect. I haven’t found any EU shop that sells them (excluding UK due to Brexit). Coralaxy currently has only one type of macroalgae, but thats all I could find. Can anyone help me? Cheers

So I've been working on my 20 gallon macroalgae tank for about 2 months now, and it's gotten to the stage where I feel it's finially ready for some fish. I started researching several months ago, and already found a few species of fish that I'd like to keep. However, I've been doing more...

Greetings! I've been keeping freshwater planted tanks for a couple years now, and after much hesitation, decided to try put saltwater! I currently only have a 2 month old 20 gallon, where I plan on keeping macroalgae, some softies, and a couple small fish and inverts. I'm hoping I can apply some...

The first thing you should do is slightly open the lid of the jar that the macroalgae is in. The reason for this is to adjust the pH levels slowly. With the lid slightly open, the carbon dioxide levels and oxygen levels will become normal, and the pH will gradually rise. Next, acclimate the...

Hey guys so I’m a little ways into the diatom stage (I got lucky I got a conch and few other snails early that keep my sand clean) But my nitrates are really higher than I’d prefer (40ppm API test kit) they get all the way up to 60 by the weekend and I’m forced to do a 20 and 40% WC in order to...

My dad just got back from florida with around 5-6 lbs of Gracilia Marco algea. If I quarantine this stuff and only use a small piece is it ok to use in my reef tanks and to pass along to friends? I’ve never taken anything from the ocean before.

A little something something we have been working on in our macroalgae grow out tanks:

Tons of clean macroalgae has been added to the website for todays update :cool: The Ultimate Macroalgae Packs come with 2oz of each macro in either the 3 pk or 4pk! https://www.algaebarn.com/shop/macroalgae/ultimate-macroalgae-pack/ POUNDS and POUNDS of clean chaeto has been added to the...

Hello, I am considering using refugium or algae scrubber as the main source of filtration (previously I was more into carbon dosing, which I am doing currently). That would mean buying a smaller skimmer for my new tank and/or letting it run only for some hours every day. I wonder - what are...

So! I'm one of those people that tried to keep a snowflake with fish, and while it's worked out so far. I'm slowly starting to see her get nippy towards fish on feeding day so when I move my fish and coral to my new tank, she is going to stay in the 4pg cube until I find a suitable new tank...

My blue hypnea macro is growing out of control. I have approximately 1.5" to 2" sections for $30, including usps priority shipping. Piece won't be attached to anything, but it attaches pretty easily after a week or two. It usually appears grayish after shipping, but it should brighten to a...

Hey guys! I have been wanting to do a dedicated macro algae nano for a while now and am trying to brainstorm a different fish to house in the new tank, as I already have 2 nanos set up each with a pair of clownfish. I absolutely love blue spot jawfish, but have never kept one due to them being...

Hello, I am looking at purchasing a couple Intank Media Baskets for my Fluval Flex 32.5. I was wondering how everybody liked them? Do they work well with the stock pump as far a flow and everything. Also, what do your filter media set ups look like? Has anyone actually had luck with Macro Algae...

For fun, I decided to write and submit the Wikipedia page for Gracilaria parvispora two months ago (I am Coughdrop12 on Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons), which is now the second Wikipedia page I have written so far: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gracilaria_parvispora It got a pretty low quality...

Thank you everyone for your interest! We have enough takers for this batch and the next. Please message me if you would like to be added to a wait list since we need to harvest this macro every 3-4 weeks. Thank you! Gracilaria curtissae I’ve had this macro in my tank for a year and it readily...

Is this Gracilaria Curtissiae ? need accurate Id but I’ve been calling it Gracilaria. LFS calls it dragons tongue. And is anyone interested in taking some off my hands? We’ve already fully stocked our LFS and it just keeps growing! :) Side note: we keep a natural tank with pests such as...

20G Red Sea max Nano AIO tank is currently 4 months old and is still going through ugly brown algae phase. I am currently using brightwells xport no3 and biocubes to keep nitrite and nitrates under control, as the tank is overstocked. Fish seem happy and healthy, and water parameters seem fine...
