    They are the best of the best for macro. Cheap shipping too.

    I agree they look awesome and grow pretty well.

    Mangroves also look nice when they start sprouting their leaves, and of course they suck up nitrates like crazy.

    Agree with what was said. Reefcleaners has some awesome looking macro algae and it's really cheap. Have fun!

    thanks for the support guys. just a tip if you are getting into the planted SW tank thing:

    fall is the worst time of year, winter improves, spring and summer are great. Works on both sides of the equator, but opposite times of year.
