The Opae ula shrimp Forum and online store

I'm trying to find some macro algae that can survive the brackish conditions. I've heard of people using Chaeto with their Opae Ula ,is it the same as Chaetomorpha Chaeto sold as a Algae Marine Nitrate Reducer?

The chaeto that you use in marine sumps may survive a small while in brackish water but will die off eventually. I had no such luck with it, hair algae will survive brackish water but if you don't keep an eye on it the stuff can start taking over the tank.

They sell the macro algae that would survive in brackish water in the US but i haven't found any over this side of the pond unfortunately.

Here is a few shots of the hair algae in my tank,

This place seems to sell all over the world.

I've tried to buy from them but they don't offer postage to the United Kingdom. I've emailed them a few times about international postage but I never got a reply


Thanks for looking though!

Any luck finding macro alga ?

Not yet
How about yourself?

Only some algae growing down the estuary by me, might try some in the green house in brackish water

Maybe we can find a nice friendly person to buy some and send it over to us and pay them a little extra for their time

Good idea, a few strands in a letter would be a start
