Sources for sea grasses & macro algae?

[Claire Austin]

Does anyone know of any good vendors/sources? I've used plastic plants for now, but would like to replace these with the real thing eventually. Thanks!

I've been looking for a source here in Ontario Canada but not had luck.

KP aquatics has a few as well. not near as many as gulf coast tho.

Gulf Coast is the live plants link above. Their red sampler is amazing and very generous.

sadly almost all sea grasses need deep sand bed and a very strong light... that s why nobody keep them :D

^ yeah sea grass is hard to keep I hear, its all most a project tank unto it self.

Caulerpa prolifera (mexican caulerpa) has a bladed grasslike appearnace, and is your best bet for replicating the look you currently have going. Just give it the occasional trim and you're good to go.

caulerpa prolifera

Caulerpa mexicana (Mexican caulerpa)

Both are really macro, but they do not really look like seagrass...
