Thus, it can quickly reduce concentrations of dissolved nutrients such as nitrate and phosphate in marine aquaria. At AlgaeBarn we treat, quarantine and inspect all of our CleanMacro Live macroalgae such as Clean Sea Lettuce.

After that, visit www.algaebarn.com/claims and submit the form. We’ll review the photo and have a replacement out to you faster than a six-line wrasse at feeding time.

This was the biggest mistake in my tank so far. As the sea lettuce broke down in my fuge, it made its way into my tank and now is growing all over everything! My tangs, blenny, and other worker fish don’t like it at all, so it just grows on all my live rock in the display.
I tried switching to chaeto, but that doesn’t seem to have thrived either. Looking to try something else before I go a different direction.
