Anybody got sea lettuce in OC? I’m ok with aiptasias— free snacks for the CBB. I’m trying to grow more macros in the refugium for my hungry tangs & angels.

Thanks

I had a bunch, but they started growing on rocks and pipes in the refugium so I tried to get rid of them :ROFLMAO:

I'll let you know If I can find some, but I think my other macro have outcompeted by now :(

There is a ton south of the boat ramp by me. But it turned into a pest for me... Although everything turns into a pest for me...
My fish can eat faster than I can grow macroalgae! That’s why I figure ulva might be the way to go. Curious what do you guys feed your fish?

I wish I could get cheap macro for feeding. my foxface only eats nori or red ogo that @Tangerine Speedo hooked me up with. the red ogo worked out great during a recent 3-day trip because it lasts a couple days on the clip. too bad he's so far from me.

online you'll find macro selling like they're sps (not really, but almost). I need to start growing it in a refugium or if anyone grows a lot in their refugium and would be willing to sell for a good price, lmk. i'm interested in anything i could put on a clip that my foxface would eat.

I’ve been feeding mine Dragon’s Breath macros but things slowed down due to lower nutrients. I might need to increase Fe dosing to keep up. Anyway, I believe ulva grows faster and easier to digest?

Agreed on the online macroalgae sales - the price is ridiculous.
