I just put in an order and should be recieving it next week.
Im so excited!
Im getting:
Sargassum (im trying this again because now I have more light )
codium
red grape
halmedia (money plant)
red feather
More calpura I dont know what kind. The team is throwing it in
Some kind of red calcifying macro which they are throwing in too

Did I say how awsome they are.

Thanks guys

Apart from Codium I've watched all of those hit the bottom of a garbage can at some point. One mans trash is anothers treasure I guess. Its too bad you live there and have to pay for it.

I know. I have posted a few times that I was looking for various macro algaes but no one replied so I had to purchase some from JLA. Im not complaining, im getting some nice stuff.
The only other way I recieved macro was through asking other reefers on here if they had any. I would buy from them or get some for free because they were just going in the garbage anyway.

I already messaged him. Weve been talking
Shipping from there is nuts. Why is it that shipping from ontario is the same if not cheaper then shipping from alberta? I dont get it. And even more so, shipping from Vancouver to me is even more pricey. It seems the closer you are the more expensive it is. I dont get it. But for regular mail like sending a package to a loved one is $$$ the farther you go.

Just wondering if worth checking out JL's macro algae stock... how much are the various algaes you just bought?

I think I got some nitophyllum (red dictyota) from King Ed and it was only $5.00.... looks something like a sea fan /Gorg which I like. They on various occasions have interesting stock but only one or two.

The cost depends on the size of the macro. The most i had to pay for macro was 14.99 but you get a really decent sized portion. For example Last year when I ordered sargassum it was HUGE with side branches and everything. I also got 3 softball sized portions of red graceillera for the same price. Some I ordered this time were only 4.99 because they were "small" but when they come in I will see how big they are.

You will need to contact JLA to see whats in stock or to be put on their waitlist and to ask for specifics.
I bought all types they brought in except 2. I really liked the other 2 they had as well but im on a budget.

msjboy I love that macro. Maybe some day we can trade macros
