I live in CA and my family and I go to the ocean every now and then. I was wondering if it is possible if I can go to the ocean and get a ton of micro algae and sea weed and put it in my reef tanks fuge. Will the micro algae and sea weed that I get off the coast of CA live in 80F water? The water here in CA is around 50F-55F.

-Thanks!
 
Doubtful...PLUS you take a high risk of introducing parasites, pests and all kinds of pollutants into your aquarium.
