    I only gave certain customers store credit for Chaetomorpha or Caulerpa so I would ask your LFS owner. Some people bring you macroalgae teeming with pods (amphipods, copepod, the good type of isopods). On the other hand, other people will bring in macroalgae covered in cyanobacteria, aiptasia, crawling with red planaria flatworms and copepod-eating white flatworms, hydroids, and detritus out the whazoo. One time someone brought in some and the process of bagging it and carrying it sent the detritus into the water.....you could barely see the macroalgae in the bag. LOL

    I have given away probably 3 one gallon zip locks of it to local reefers.

    I may try and get some store credit on it again. Our best lfs said they didn't want it!

    I may also start putting hunks on my plastic clip and see if my tangs like it!

    Reef on people! Reef On!

    You don't need led lights. I have a compact florescent bulb rated at 75 watt.
