CAULERPA SERRULATA MACRO ALGAE STARTER CULTURE FOR NATURAL REMOVAL OF NITRATES AND PHOSPHATES.
THIS IS AN EXCELLENT TYPE OF CAULERPA AS IT IS VERY RARE TO TURN THE WATER MILKY, LIKE SOME OTHER FORMS OF MARINE ALGAE.
THIS GROWS FAST AND IS VERY GOOD AT KEEPING YOUR NITRATE AND PHOSPHATE ULTRA LOW WHILST OUT-COMPETING NUISANCE ALGAES IN THE AQUARIUM.
This is a thick strain and high quality caulerpa serrulata.
It does not break up like some other caulerpa strains.
We grow this in our commercial retail facility and use it in our sumps for farming corals as part of our filter system. It will come with various beneficial microfauna like amphipods, brittle starfish, bristle worms, copepods, spaghetti worms etc. Due to postage, some of the aforementioned microfauna may die during transit, which can create a smell and some brown liquid, this is harmless - we recommend rinsing in salted aquarium water before adding to your aquarium. The algae will turn up looking limp and a bit like boiled vegetable - this is normal. Rinse is salted aquarium water (do not rinse in tap water or reverse osmosis water) and put it into your sump/refugium with a decent light above it. In less than a week, it will recover from transit and start growing.
We will send a decent handful as pictured to get you started in a sealed bag. Please note this will be compressed for postage and once received please loosen for better growth.
Grows best in sump or algae reactor with good flow and good lighting. Will post out 1st Class, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday only, and will send same day if have cleared payment by 4pm. Any questions please ask.
If we have risk of frost, postage will be delayed until night time temperatures are 3c or higher.
