Grape Caulerpa

Just wondering if anyone knew where a guy could get some of this in Calgary, or if anyone had some they could spare.

I picked up a small rock at Red Coral that had a little on it and it's been growing pretty fast. All it takes is a bit. I could trim a little to get you started if you want. But I don't have much to spare at this point. If you're looking for more Colby and Elite has offered to give me some in the past.

Don't let grape caulerpa enter your display tank because it is a real bugger to get rid of. Highly invasive.

Yes as I have noticed too. Mine is in my sump.

I've read too many horror stories on the net about grape calerpa going sexual and wiping out tanks to let it any where near my tanks.

I love my grape! I have an upstream 10g fuge plumbed on my 28g JBJ nano and i will remove 90% of the Macro once every 10 Days or so. After 10 days its PACKED full again. Its amazing at exporting nutrients from the water. If you really need some so im sure I could spare some for a little frag or what not

If anyone has other recommendations I'd love to hear them. I've got some Chaeto right now but for whatever reason I can't seem to get it to grow as fast as I'd like and had heard that Caulpera was a much quicker growing macro to put in the sump. I currently have the sump lit with a 23 (or was it 27) watt CF light bulb.
