![]() 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 ![]() Last edited by skabooya; 07-09-2011 at 06:10 PM. |

![]() 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 ![]() 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!! |

![]() So, last night I got curious and decided to look at my tanks night life. Very cool stuff. here are a couple of shots before I explain the weird sexual orgey I witnessed.
Candycane sweepers ![]() Hydroids ![]() And now for the weird sex I was using my sons night light toy thingie to look into my tank and these little maggot things were attracted to the light. There were 2 colours; Pink/peach and blue/purple. There ended up being about 40ish around the light and they would follow it like one of those dog/cat lazer toys. Anyway, when they got to the sandbed I noticed that the blue ones would smear white goo along the glass. It was gross, looked like almost cooked runny egg whites or when a bug hits your windsheild and you have a spray of goo but it was white. And upon even closer inspection I noticed there were little dots in the goo. Then I realized... EWWW SPERM. Eggs too but EWWW. Kind of like salmon if you really think about it. But anyway here are some pics AND a video of the 2 coloured maggot things. ![]() Money Shot... well not really all you can really see are the blue dot eggs under the maggot things and some film (sperm) around the eggs. ![]() Video of these weird creatures ![]() Ok and now a normal video of my tank. A tour basically. ![]() |

![]() I'm pleased to have a member in BC keeping a marine plant display tank! ( J&L told me that only a few guys looking for algae )I have been setting a macro algae tank ( 120 gal system ) and collecting various algae for more than 5 years. I switched my collection from green to red 1.5 years ago
( 85% of algae in DT are red in color ). Occasionally, I'll prepare some frags of algae on rock and send to J&L & King Ed for trading other saltwater stuff. I can't or don't know how to post pictures to the thread ( not enought size ) but I can send you my photos for sharing my collection if you reply giving me you email address. Thanks. Franky |

![]() 120gals wow. That would be amazing. I would want to do that too but the lighting costs would kill me I think. I learned macro needs a lot higher lighting than people give it credit for.
I would love to see your tank. Im sure others would too. |

![]() Not really I found some red macro algae do much better at shady area. The T5 lighting fixture like the Tek light 48" 4x54W 4 tubes I have been using is good enough for most green & red algae except the brown ones. However, I just upgraded to my new DIY Led light fixture.
