Looking to add some sea grass to my macro algae tank. Does anyone have or know someone that might be willing to sell some of it?
thanks
Thanks I don’t know why I was t able to find this when I was looking on google thanks for the link I’m going to check out shipping pricesTropical Fish Plus has Manatee Grass, that's where I got mine recently. Just make sure you inspect it because the three macros I ordered all had one or two hitchhikers. The manatee grass had a mussel which was pretty cool though!
Interesting about the six inch sand bed, I was pretty sure this plant shot runners i could be wrong. My tank is small which with tall blades of grass in the back would be a nice effect, but my sand beds not six inches. Either way it’s not a hundred percent I will pull the trigger on these. There is other macros I want just hard to find them, thanks.Welcome to the addiction, I mean the hobby forum. I tried sea grasses many years ago. Their requirement for deep >6” mature sand beds made me realize they required more attention than I was willing to give them. Can you take a picture of your present macro tank.
I started a 30G ornamental seaweed tank one year ago.

I don’t think Seagrasses have popped up on their site before. I wish they did (though their substrate requirements would probably make it difficult to keep them pest-free).Have you checked Algae Barn?
Aquaticusplants.com offers Thalassia testudinum (Turtle grass), Syringodium filiforme (Manatee grass), and Halodule wrightii (Shoal grass) on their site for decent prices. They aquaculture it themselves.
Those seem to be the main two sources of seagrass these days. I do not have experience with Aquaticus Plants (@SeaGrass Cullen), though its seems to have a good reputation, and Tropical Fish Plus (@TFP2021) offers manatee grass (Syringodium filiforme) for a great price (20+ individual plants for $8), though the macroalgae I received from them did contain hitchhikers.Tropical Fish Plus has Manatee Grass, that's where I got mine recently.

That tank needs a tang. Just sayin.Welcome to the addiction, I mean the hobby forum. I tried sea grasses many years ago. Their requirement for deep >6” mature sand beds made me realize they required more attention than I was willing to give them. Can you take a picture of your present macro tank.

I have tangs in three systems with macro algae.That tank needs a tang. Just sayin.
Tank is small 10 gallon single clown rest is macros and a little Xeniawithout knowing your tank inhabitants and history, I can assure you that sea grasses are much more difficult than seaweeds (macro algae). Try Caulerpa Proifera in your substrate, it resembles Oar Grass.
