Ulva sp. is commonly found on shallow, rocky reefs worldwide. This delicate green algae prefers fertile, brightly lit waters. 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.

Benefits

Free of parasites

All of our macroalgaes are kept in their own closed system. They are cleaned, treated, quarantined, and inspected before they are sent to you. This ensures that no unwanted pests & parasites make it into your tank.

Extra fast growing

Clean Sea Lettuce is our fastest-growing Macroalgae. It's great for those with larger tanks and sumps as it is readily accepted by many herbivorious fishes, such as our Yellow Tangs, and other marine inverts.

Remove excess nutrients

Clean Sea Lettuce grows quickly and cleans your tank by consuming excess Nitrates & Phosphates for easy nutrient export. Balance your nutrient levels and watch your in-tank ecosystem thrive!

Description

Clean Sea Lettuce

A fast-growing nutrient sponge!

Sea lettuce is commonly found on shallow, rocky reefs worldwide from the tropics to the arctic. This delicate green algae prefers brightly lit waters with high nutrient levels. So long as illumination is intense, it is extremely hardy and adaptable. It can quickly reduce concentrations of dissolved nutrients such as nitrate and phosphate in marine aquarium systems. It is regarded as one of the more nutritious macroalgae and is readily accepted by many herbivorous fishes and invertebrates. And therein lies the real value of this species; instead of just throwing away the harvested portions, an aquarist may offer it to various aquarium animals as a very tasty and wholesome treat!

This alga is a great candidate for refugia chambers that “tumble” the seaweed (e.g. kreisel styles). Used in this manner, relatively huge amounts of plant mass can be fully and equally illuminated. And, because it grows loosely, harvest is as easy as reaching in the refugium and grabbing a big wad or two.

Clean Sea Lettuce, or similar macroalgae, such as our Clean Chaeto or Pom Pom Macro, is an essential part of any refugium set up! If you’re looking for everything you need to get a new refugium all set up and functioning beautifully, check out our Ultimate Refugium Starter Pack!

Clean Sea Lettuce Size:

    • Golf Ball: Approx. 1/16 lb (29 grams)
    • Tennis Ball: Approx. 1/8 lb (57 grams)
    • Soft Ball: Approx. 1/4 lb (114 grams)

PLEASE NOTE: We go to great lengths to treat, quarantine and remove any unwanted parasites, hitchhikers, and other organisms from our Sea Lettuce. However, we do not guarantee that this item is completely and totally free of anything unwanted. This is because sometimes spores, eggs, etc can remain viable but not visible, despite our strict quarantine procedure. As a result, we always recommend that you properly quarantine anything new that you are adding to your tank.

Looks nice and healthy. Came with a little strand of gracilaria mixed in, which is neat. The crabs like it!

Overall, really great just got a lot of small pieces that ultimately got eaten by a fox face and two tangs.

Very great. Clean and no pest. I had no issues once so ever even trying to grow this in my sump. It's been at least 5 weeks and this stuff is doing amazing! Its really helped bring down my parameters even further. I actually had bought some cheato and failed with that and this was a total hit!

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.
