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.

Default how much at JL for various macroalgae

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.
Some images at:

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

I think my tank inhabitants are trying to tell me something. They're spelling it in the algae I forget to scrape off.

BOOYA!!! My macro came in TODAY!!! UPS site said thursday but it came in TODAY!
I just finished adding and arranging my macro algae. The tank is FULL. I am loving it soo much.
When i saw some of the freebies I almost cried, I was in love. I also got some bonus hitch hikers I got a bunch of feather dusters, some brittle stars, some snails, a RED MUSHROOM! and some other coral. It was closed up and loose, im not sure what it is but when and if it opens up I will let you know what it is.
One of the pieces of red grape had apastia on it so I had to chuck that piece. To be on the safe side I want to pick up another pepermint shrimp just to make sure there are no more.

I love JLA. They always give me what I want and more. Their portion sizes are amazing. Their "small" size is more like a medium and in some cases large

I had a bunch of loose pieces of codium as well as some other algae. Maybe green gracileria. As soon as i added them to the tank they flew around so wherever they attach I hope they grow

I already took some pics but I wont be able to post them until later.
EEEK IM IN LOVE!!
