I think I've finally found my long-lost Enteromorpha intestinalis macro algae. I've been looking for a source for years. This macro algae is supposed to be "pantropical", meaning it grows in most oceans. But no other sources on the web seem to be able to supply it, including specialized...
Here's another hoot for you all...
Koji Wada is a gorgeous (and not inexpensive) pink Japanese nepthea. I once recollected that somewhere I saw a reference to it being named after the Japanese marine aquarist who originally provided frags of it to someone here in the USA. (A story like a...
I think I just set a record for my own buying of inexpensive RO membranes ~ I just got two 100 GPD membranes for $33.

Please, somebody buy that Ruby Red Xenia before I lose my self-control and buy it myself!
I have to admit that I'm a sucker for red Starfish. I have 5 in my reef now. But even I can't spend $200 on this one, even if it is half price!

I just discovered that Salt Water Aquarium (SaltwaterAquarium - Aquarium Supplies) is carrying BRS GFO HC for a little less than BRS sells it for on both regular and sale prices. Probably true for BRS ROX Carbon too, but I didn't check those prices.

https://www.oceansgarden.com/product/ora-hippopus-clam-4-inch/
It'been a while since I saw one offered.
Caveat 1: the Banner says "4 inch" but lower down on the page it says 3-3.5 inches.
Caveat 2: these babies can grow to 30 inches.
(I'd get one myself, but...
Has anyone ever tried the no-name RO Membrane Cartridges on Amazon? If so, what are your recommendations?
They're half the price of the DOW equivalents, and sure look like a DOW manufactured white-label product...
