Great to see the work in practice with all your macro algae growing well… I look forward to getting more from you soon, as it’s delivered with such care and are lush ready to go healthy specimens to enjoy immediately in our aquariums… Thanks again for for the tour.. : )
You should try to collect some Rainbow Wrack, I would love some but I don't know if I can even find it in America. It's so beautiful! I know it can be found on the coast in Cornwall, not sure where you are located.
Great video mate, love the varieties of macros you have going on, can't believe how well the botryocladia has taken off. Really hope I can get my aquarium looking as good 👍
Nice video mate! My red hair chondria and cladophora prolifera from you are ticking away nicely but the red grape has really taken off and growing great! 👍
You are the king of macroalgae 👑 , thanks for share your videos man. My first saltwater tank will be a macroalgae scape. I live in Italy , when i need it you can ship me some macroalgae ?
I vote you do a more in depth video on macro + corals tank. That turns out to be rather tricky, balancing macro algae and coral nutrient needs without causing nuisance algae explosion. Thanks.
Best collection of macroalgae in the uk. I have been toying with the idea of going to the seaside and collecting some seagrass for a planted saltwater tank as it is a true plant rather than a macroalgae and can root feed. Combined with a deep dirt/sand cap substrate i think it could work as a very low maintenance refugium system that could work better than macroalgae and wouldnt need ferts, similarly to how freshwater walstad systems work. Where the substrate becomes a nutrient bed for the roots to feed from, which in turn eliminates nitrates from the water column and creates a more stable and healthy system overall. I'd like to also see if it helps coral growth at all. Have you ever had any seagrass growing in your tanks? Ive looked on ebay for it but no dice.
Thanks, I have never tried seagrass because it's not imported from tropical regions due to it needing different licences to corals and macroalgae. UK seagrass might be protected which is why nobody has it for sale or harvests it. Also it's adapted to colder water so I'm not sure how it would do in a tropical system
@@EverydayAquarist True, i have no idea how seagrass from the UK would adapt in a tropical system honestly. I dont know how hardy it is and i cant find any reference online of somebody using it in an aquarium. My instinct tells me it would probably not fare well but its worth a try. The only other option would be packing an aquarium out with mangrove trees which could get a similar result but wouldnt be anywhere as easy/cheap or fast growing. A bit silly that corals can be ripped from their natural habitat and sold on the open market but seagrass cannot. I understand in the context of the UK as it is dyng out here but from tropical climates there is no reason not to export it.
I totally appreciate your excellent efforts. I just started my first Saltwater tank. The tank will be a quarantine for a larger Saltwater tank, I will start in the future. Thanks again. I have one small question about Salinity. What is the reading you use for Macro-Algae and corals?
what is the temp of your macro algae tanks ?? I keep my tanks at 26-27 degrees Celsius that is around 80 ish Fahrenheit is it okay or do I need to lower them and are red algaes harder than greens ? I really want to buy a red gracelerious algae but am scared that it would melt in 2 days
Here's a tour of all my Macroalgae as requested!

Enjoyed the Macro Algae Tour. Thank You.
Such a beautiful collection of macroalgae!! Loved the video!!

Thank you. It's taken me a while to get it like that and I'm not confident how long it will stay that way!

Awesome!

Thank you. Sorry I can't ship internationally it takes too long unfortunately

I'll look into it
Beautiful collection!
Thanks
Duuuude you made it! Thank you :3
Hope you enjoy
@@EverydayAquarist Yes very much, I've seen it twice already. You have a very nice collection, I really need to start an algae tank asap

The reason is the importers would need a photosanitory license which they won't pay for just to import seagrass
I want to do a brackish setup 1.007. Is there any macroalgae that do good around that gravity? Love the videos
I'm not sure but you could try caulerpa prolifera and Ulva as people have used them in brackish before
I have a species that is not in the video , was hoping to find out what it is .
I totally appreciate your excellent efforts. I just started my first Saltwater tank. The tank will be a quarantine for a larger Saltwater tank, I will start in the future. Thanks again. I have one small question about Salinity. What is the reading you use for Macro-Algae and corals?
I use the same standard salinity between 1.024 and 1.026.
Thanks again. You cast a great light upon so much rubbish that's out here
Great vid.
Can you mix macro algae with corals?
Do they compliment each other or create problems?
Yes I made a video on this topic recently
I'm jealous I'm not in the UK and can't order any of these from ya.
Wish I could ship internationally
@@EverydayAquarist can you ship to other european countries?
what is the temp of your macro algae tanks ??
I keep my tanks at 26-27 degrees Celsius
that is around 80 ish Fahrenheit
is it okay or do I need to lower them
and are red algaes harder than greens ?
I really want to buy a red gracelerious algae but am scared that it would melt in 2 days
I aim for 24-26c. Reds have slightly different needs to greens but can be kept together
What nitrate and phosphate levels do you keep in those algae tanks, thanks.
10 nitrate + 0.5 phosphate ish
Where do you get your macroalgae?
I have built my collection over time
