Mitrillion Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 I'm going to long beach this weekend and anything to check out reef related! I have been there a million times but this time will have my reef goggles on;)! Any cool tide pools or anything like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pledosophy Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 If you see any ulva on the beach you wanna collect I'd love some. You could bring it to Fenner next Sunday?! I'm trying to increase my number of old cultures Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoobtoSalt Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Collecting in Washington is a tricky one. Make sure you get licensees before you just start trying to take things home. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pledosophy Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Long Beach Cali is still coldwater. It's also where I am posting from! I'm not aware you need a permit to collect seaweed, but I could just be ignorant in it. Ulva is a seaweed that looks similiar to a thin lettuce. It grows in cold and tropical climates. It's a great algae to put in pod cultures because it can handle the swings that neglect brings IME Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pledosophy Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 As far as collecting the Tiger pods many people feed their reefs are found up and down the Oregon and Washington coast. The ones I culture were collected in Oceanside, and have been given out to 20 other reefers or so now. Easy to grow out. Just need some water, a window light, and some ulva.

Jack-the-reefer Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Sand dollars make great frag disks. Other than that, nothing you can collect here will survive in your tank. Coldwater tanks are sweet though. One is definitely on my list once I move into a bigger place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
