It's so funny... the first time I ordered from him I ordered something like 10 snails and I received nearly 200. I didn't know what to do. It was a 8 gallon tank and I had to give a ton of them away to local reefers. This last time I ordered 20 snails, and I received 20, 1 Quote Link to comment

Berlibee Posted June 26, 2017 Author Share Posted June 26, 2017 Ordered on the weekend some macro from Gulf Coast Ecosystem - two standard packs green and red. Very interesting what I'll get from them in two day. 1 Quote Link to comment

Green pack is totally fine, it's just that most people in general love the Red Pack more. Getting both of those is actually a really good way to kinda "try out" Macros. They're a super great deal, you'll see what I mean, and Gulf Coast is an amazing vendor, definitely a big favorite of mine. With the Green Pack, anything that is growing from a runner would be smarter to keep on or in the sandbed where you can prune them and control growth. Most of the Red ones prefer lower light, treat them like Mushroom Corals. If you get one that is pinkish and slippery, it really likes high flow but won't attach to anything, so I tie it to a rock in a hi flow area with fishing line. Most of the other reds can just be wedged into crevices in rock. 1 Quote Link to comment

Weetabix7 Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Just now, Berlibee said: Which ones are your favorites macros? Caulerpa Prolifera and Codium are some of the more common green ones that I like. I really like Sargassum, which is a yellowish brown one. I like Galaxaura and Halymenia, which are both pink. I haven't yet found a Red Macro that I don't like, but Botryocladia would be one of the more common red ones that I like. Pretty sure you'll get some of that in your Red Pack. I like any blue or purple Macro or any that are more obscure and harder to find. 1 Quote Link to comment

Berlibee Posted June 28, 2017 Author Share Posted June 28, 2017 After four weeks of waiting time got today the clearview lid from Artfully Acrylic - very cool experience with ordering from them. No need to send any sizes, shapes etc. they have templates for all sort of tanks, you just choosing your tank and add comments about custom cuts and doors. Customs cuts for the cords were free as well and I didn't asked for a feeding door but they've added it for free also! Very clean edges and clear acrylic. Nice guys and quality item, I'm very happy with that lid. I can get some wrasses now hehehe .... : 5 Quote Link to comment
Berlibee Posted June 28, 2017 Author Share Posted June 28, 2017 Got my first order from Gulf Coast Ecosystems. Nice package, fast shipping and the their packs looks awesome.

I've just dropped them in the water, attached some of them to the rocks. Is it fine if they'll mix with each other or too close to each other? Quote Link to comment
