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...

Hello guys, I’m need some help to ID this Algea bloom in my tank. I had a lot of hair algea in my tank, so I did a fluconazole treatment, and it worked really well. Then I did a large water change, and after that I got this green algea all over the sand. I know my nitrates might be high, but...
