Where to get Marine Plants - Page 3

sandiegan · 02/12/2010, 01:44 PM

Looking for stargrass as well. Any pointers?

ChadTheSpike · 02/12/2010, 02:01 PM

reefcleaners.org has halophila... probably limited supplies at the moment because of the recent weather though.

Jason7504 · 02/12/2010, 06:54 PM

Someone should really edit this sticky post to get rid of the invalid links

Gatesoray · 02/13/2010, 05:25 AM

try GULF COAST ECOSYSTEMS.... http://www.live-plants.com/

Green_fishy · 04/21/2010, 03:26 PM

seconded really need a supplier that will ship to UK all I can get is chaeto and calepa

asid61 · 04/27/2011, 11:17 PM

I ordered from here, they're awsome. They also have cleanup crews w/ free shipping at cheap prices.

Hi,
I just joined this forum. I wanted to know where I can purchase marine plants locally in Los angeles? Exp maiden hair or shaved brushed. Any info would help.
Thanks,

Thanks for the resources this is great I have been looking for places to get macroalgaes

apuhl20 · 12/07/2011, 09:21 PM

Anyone have an updated list as to sites or people that sell macros and seagrasses? Most of the sites on the first post dont work anymore.

jdhuyvetter · 12/08/2011, 07:37 PM

To quote Gates:

try GULF COAST ECOSYSTEMS.... http://www.live-plants.com/

But note, it's winter in Florida and much of the macro algae is beginning (or already has) died off. Spring and Summer are the best order times.

I did just order from them and got a monster pile of C. prolifera and a bunch of pods.

btarbert · 01/15/2012, 06:44 AM

Have not ordered from them but them seem to have a good selection. http://www.aquacon.com/vip.html

billsreef · 01/16/2012, 04:30 PM

Might want to research online for reviews for aquacon before ordering. They are notorious.

xian · 01/16/2012, 06:01 PM

I just ordered from http://live-plants.com/ and was very pleased when my Caulerpa and Red Sampler Packs came in yesterday. The bags were generously packed with 5-6 different types of algae per bag.

SantaMonica · 03/02/2013, 06:39 PM

Great link the LP is. Wish I had known about that when I was search the world for live ulva... was even calling natural food markets.

Lpoole · 05/24/2013, 06:18 PM

I like reefleaners they have a good selection.

acuario · 07/10/2013, 12:40 PM

I suppose this is not that helpful, but the next town over from me has a supplier big on freshwater plants: http://www.aquariumplants.com/

Green_fishy · 07/13/2013, 03:52 PM

Bump, anyone have links to sites that offer macro algae in Europe?

It is usually individual experiences and local idiosyncrasy that color our opinion about any delivery service. I remember the FedEx guy leaving a box of fish perched on a snow drift in the middle of our front yard, but that does not mean all FedEx guys are like that.

Live Aquaria Diver's Den has been selling Thalassia propagules lately--check in the Inverts section.
