I've got some, but I'm still growing it out. It's working quite well at reducing nitrates in my tank. I highly recommend it. If no one else can give you some immediately, I can in about three weeks.

Porphyra umbilicalis
I have some of the Porphyra umbilicalis growing in a mini refuge.
IMO this is the best refugeum macro as it has no root system, it does not go "asexual", and it is a lovely red/purple color. my pods love it and it can never become a nuisence algae as it does not attach to anything.
it is a slow grower compared to calupera but is a highly nutritious veggie for your fish, in fact julian sprung is selling it dry in his new line of veggie food suppliments.
one word of caution- if you have tangs keep them away cuz they will eat it all in about a minute upon introduction.
Lemme Know,
Matt |

ToyFreak,
Can you post a pic. The colors really interest me, but I want to see what the plant itself looks like.
Thanks

I am happy to give some Chaeto to each of you who have requested some. Yes, Otolith, you were going to give me some xenia, but now I'm afraid of it....very afraid.

Toyfreek- I would also like to get some of that action (Porphyra umbilicalis.) I would like a little of all the good stuff for the refug that I will hopefully have going one day soon.

I've got chaeto in my "aptasia tank" (fuge/filtration tank) that I need to harvest fairly soon. If anyone wants some and don't mind the possibility of a few aptasia hitchhikers let me know.

I don't think I will be able to make it to RW, too much weekend project work to attend to and not enough time  |
