For the macroalgae collectors this is truly something very unique. This macro shifts colors depending on the angle of the macro to the light. It shifts from red to blue to gold depending on the angle. This is a rubbery and thick macro which usually means it’s a slow grower. We’ve grown this under medium to low light and from 20k to 5k and it grew under all variations of light and flow. It is however a very slow grower in our low nutrient system. Place this macro in a safe area such as a refugium with the macro touching live rock giving it time to attach. http://www.lareefs.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=999 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 19:58:23 -0500 http://www.lareefs.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=1045&language=en http://www.lareefs.com/index.php?main_page=product_reviews&products_id=1045 http://www.lareefs.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=1045 Sun, 05 Feb 2012 17:34:27 -0500 http://www.lareefs.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2&language=en http://www.lareefs.com/index.php?main_page=product_reviews&products_id=2 Using Chaetomorpha in your tank is a great way to reduce phosphates and nitrates as well as other nutrients. If you’ve ever been fishing and severely tangled up your line, this is how Cheato grows. This macrolgae is great for beginners because it doesn’t disintegrate in the tank due to low nutrients or low lighting. Furthermore, it’s extremely hardy and will thrive in many various conditions. Out of the thousands of batches we have sent we’ve only gotten less than 10 DOAs. We’ve searched around for a very long time finding the fastest growing strain. We finally selected a strain that we believe is one of the most fastest and effective strains available. This macrolgae can be placed into main tank as well if one doesn’t mind a big green ball in the display. When the Chaeto is getting too large for its area simply pull off the excess amount. If pruning is not desired then it’s important to rotate the bottom of the Chaeto ball to the top to get some light. Chaeto doesn’t have the ability to attach to rocks like most other macro algae so it’s very easy to harvest and completely remove. Acclimation: Match temperature by dropping the bag in the tank for a few minutes and release into the water. Discard the water that was in the bag. Lighting recommendations: -5,500k-10k bulb -1.5 watts or more per gallon The cheapest option is to buy a spiral compact fluorescent lamp with an enclosed reflector and shield attached to a light bulb clamp. We've gotten a few emails lately on how to go about tumbling Chaeto. Although it's completely unnecessary to do so, it's a good way to make your Cheato more efficient by giving it a larger area for photosynthesis. We’ve found using air pumps to be the most efficient and effective. Simply attach an airline to an anchor, such as a piece of rubble rock, and place it at the bottom of the refugium. Dial the amount of air depending on the size of the Cheato and how fast you want it to turn. The extra air and the greater area of light exposure dramatically increase the rate of nutrient reduction using this method. Check out the video below to see a demonstration. http://www.lareefs.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 23:32:55 -0500 http://www.lareefs.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=253&language=en http://www.lareefs.com/index.php?main_page=product_reviews&products_id=253 Mermaid’s fan is a display quality macroalgae that can be kept in the main aquarium without worry of being eaten up by fishes or inverts. This calcified macroalgae is to be planted into the sand bed and can tolerate low to high lighting. http://www.lareefs.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=253 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 23:32:35 -0500 http://www.lareefs.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=495&language=en http://www.lareefs.com/index.php?main_page=product_reviews&products_id=495 Of all the macroalgae we have seen, this is one of the most unique we’ve come across. There is no blue chlorophyll, but there is a unique pigment on this macroalgae that bounces back blue light. The macroalgae gives off a blue shimmering effect when the pumps are on. Even under a 10k bulb this macro appears blue. This is a very hardy macroalgae that grows in a huge range of lighting and flow. We’ve kept a clipping in every single one of our holding tanks which range from weak spiral fluorescent lights to 400 watts of metal halide and they’ve all done great. Due to its rarity and demand we can only offer clippings at this point. However, this macroalgae does grow at a decent rate and you should start seeing plating in a month or so. Here is a recent picture of our mother colony: http://www.lareefs.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=495 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 23:32:14 -0500 http://www.lareefs.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=150&language=en http://www.lareefs.com/index.php?main_page=product_reviews&products_id=150 We offer two types of red Gracilaria and this is the Floridian type. It has display tank qualities compared to our Hawaiian version. It's much thicker and a lot more vibrant. If looks are a concern then chose this version, otherwise our Hawaiian version will work out just fine for filtration and feeding. http://www.lareefs.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=150 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 18:14:57 -0500 http://www.lareefs.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=1043&language=en http://www.lareefs.com/index.php?main_page=product_reviews&products_id=1043 This macro will come mounted and ready for placement in the aquarium. Tangs are known to eat this so keep them in the fuge if Tangs are present. Otherwise, it's a very hardy macro that can grow in various conditions. http://www.lareefs.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=1043 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 18:14:41 -0500 http://www.lareefs.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=1021&language=en http://www.lareefs.com/index.php?main_page=product_reviews&products_id=1021 http://www.lareefs.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=1021 Thu, 19 Jan 2012 03:18:57 -0500 http://www.lareefs.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=1038&language=en http://www.lareefs.com/index.php?main_page=product_reviews&products_id=1038 http://www.lareefs.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=1038 Thu, 19 Jan 2012 01:19:07 -0500 http://www.lareefs.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=1047&language=en http://www.lareefs.com/index.php?main_page=product_reviews&products_id=1047 http://www.lareefs.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=1047 Thu, 19 Jan 2012 01:18:56 -0500 http://www.lareefs.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=1025&language=en http://www.lareefs.com/index.php?main_page=product_reviews&products_id=1025 This pack includes: 1.

This is very hardy macro that can tolerate wide ranges of lighting and flow. Ideal lighting temperatures should range from 6k to 15k. http://www.lareefs.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=452 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 17:07:25 -0500 http://www.lareefs.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=16&language=en http://www.lareefs.com/index.php?main_page=product_reviews&products_id=16 This is one of the most common and largest macroalgae in the world but often not used in reef aquariums. Despite the brown color, Sargassum is definitely display worthy with its ability to grow the full length of a reef aquarium. This macroalgae is able to grow long lengths due to balloon like bubbles on the stalks to keep it from falling over. This macroalgae can accept a wide range of tank conditions. However, in our experience it takes a little patience to wait for it to establish itself in the tank. Buyer will receive a portion similar to what is in the picture and will come mounted for your convenience. http://www.lareefs.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=16 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 16:31:27 -0500 http://www.lareefs.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=85&language=en http://www.lareefs.com/index.php?main_page=product_reviews&products_id=85 Ulva also known as sea lettuce is a great macro to serve multiple purposes in the marine aquarium. It's a great source of nutrition for herbivores and pods. We've also found Ulva to be much more practical to increase pod population than using phytoplankton. Ulva is a hardy macro that serves nicely for nutrient export. size: Buyer will receive 3 sheets about 6x6 inches each. This should be enough to maintain to keep up with pod population in tanks up to 100 gallons. http://www.lareefs.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=85 Fri, 25 Nov 2011 22:26:32 -0500 http://www.lareefs.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=139&language=en http://www.lareefs.com/index.php?main_page=product_reviews&products_id=139 http://www.lareefs.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=139 Sun, 13 Nov 2011 22:54:29 -0500 http://www.lareefs.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=39&language=en http://www.lareefs.com/index.php?main_page=product_reviews&products_id=39 A very rare and attractive piece of macroalgae that works great for display in the main aqarium.

It’s often used to control green bubble algae. They may pose a threat to corals if the tank is underfed and the crab is starving. However, it’s very unlikely to happen unless the aquarium is void of any leftover food. http://www.lareefs.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=652 Thu, 03 Jun 2010 00:31:21 -0400 http://www.lareefs.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=446&language=en http://www.lareefs.com/index.php?main_page=product_reviews&products_id=446 http://www.lareefs.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=446 Sat, 20 Mar 2010 23:41:32 -0400 http://www.lareefs.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=83&language=en http://www.lareefs.com/index.php?main_page=product_reviews&products_id=83 Measurement: 1.5 inch. General Information: These are temperate creatures and should be kept at low temperatures. We are keeping these in tanks that peak at about 75 degrees Fahrenheit with a successful term of 7 months and going. They seem to reproduce by spitting out babies through their mouth instead of splitting themselves found commonly in anemones found in the hobby. They can be fed a variety of meaty food such as Mysis. If you can hand catch pods in your tank that also works great and is what we usually do. Check out the feeding video below if you are curious or really bored. http://www.lareefs.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=83 Wed, 10 Mar 2010 02:02:38 -0500 http://www.lareefs.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=95&language=en http://www.lareefs.com/index.php?main_page=product_reviews&products_id=95 Buyer will receive exact coral in the picture. Sun corals (Tubastrea): Sun corals generally come in 3 colors. Black being the rarest then followed by yellow, pink then orange. It’s important to feed these corals as they don’t use any photosynthesis. Meaty foods such as krill and brine shrimp are a good choice. Their polyp extension varies from coral to coral but generally come out at night. We have found that after a few weeks of acclimation in their new home they will also come out during the day. Type: Large Polyp Stony Lighting Requirements: Sun Corals depend 100% on feeding. Aggressiveness: Peaceful http://www.lareefs.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=95 Tue, 23 Feb 2010 21:26:18 -0500 http://www.lareefs.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=526&language=en http://www.lareefs.com/index.php?main_page=product_reviews&products_id=526 http://www.lareefs.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=526 Sat, 05 Dec 2009 16:56:29 -0500 http://www.lareefs.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=129&language=en http://www.lareefs.com/index.php?main_page=product_reviews&products_id=129 This macroalgae is very similar to red Gracilaria. It grows in a root/branchlike pattern. May be safely kept in the main tank as it is a slow grower and does not attach to substrate at many points. One of the problems with Caulerpa is that it attaches itself at many points. This macro will attach at one point and break off from there. This is food for many herbivores so be careful. This macroalgae is very tolerant of various lighting set ups and generally very hardy. You will receive a bush that is about 4 inches in diameter. http://www.lareefs.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=129 Thu, 22 Oct 2009 22:06:49 -0400 http://www.lareefs.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=1044&language=en http://www.lareefs.com/index.php?main_page=product_reviews&products_id=1044 http://www.lareefs.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=1044 Tue, 10 Jan 2012 04:32:23 -0500 http://www.lareefs.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=1028&language=en http://www.lareefs.com/index.php?main_page=product_reviews&products_id=1028 http://www.lareefs.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=1028 Sun, 04 Dec 2011 04:47:02 -0500 http://www.lareefs.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=1029&language=en http://www.lareefs.com/index.php?main_page=product_reviews&products_id=1029 http://www.lareefs.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=1029 Mon, 05 Dec 2011 21:57:45 -0500 http://www.lareefs.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=651&language=en http://www.lareefs.com/index.php?main_page=product_reviews&products_id=651 The Harlequin Shrimp is perhaps one of the most beautiful and unique shrimps in our hobby. However, it's a very picky eater and will only eat live Starfish. The Chocolate Star fish is a good choice because it is one of the few reef safe Starfishes. A few Starfishes should be raised when keeping Harlequin shrimps because they need time to grow back their legs. To feed the shrimp, simply remove one leg of the Starfish and it will grow back in time. A very stable reef aquarium is required much like other invertebrates in our hobby. Temperature, pH, and salinity should be stable at all times. Nitrates should be kept at a minimum. A little bit of work is required to keep Harlequin Shrimps but it’s definitely worth the effort. http://www.lareefs.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=651 Wed, 10 Mar 2010 01:58:51 -0500 http://www.lareefs.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=1018&language=en http://www.lareefs.com/index.php?main_page=product_reviews&products_id=1018 Mini Carpets average about 3 inches and will not get larger than 5 inches.
