Wanted: Seaweed & Soft Coral

AlexSSC · #1 10-01-2015, 08:33 PM

Hi all,

I finally got my 180 Gallon tank cycled and would like to start it with some Soft Coral for the tank, and Seaweed for my 2x 20 gallon sumps.

Will consider hard coral, but have to wait for my electrician to hook up the 3 HID ballasts still, which may take up to two weeks :/

If any one has anything available for reasonable prices, please pm me with pics. I am located in Burnaby but can come to you and pick up, willing to travel up to an hour either direction.

What you doing with sea weed in the sump ? I feed my fish with it.

I usually grow the seaweed in the sump with the live rock and feed it to the fish slowly, so they don't eat it all and nothing is left for later. Is this a bad idea? Sorry, I'm new to such big size tank.

I'm not sure this may be a good idea just never seen it for sale anywhere (alive)

Maybe we are not all talking about the same "seaweed"
I'll bet on chaeto
This might help clear up the id:

Are you talking about growing some type of macro algae in the sump like chaeto morpha or caluerpa?
