Does anyone know where I can get some rooted sea plants and macro's.

Our 25 Tall Seahorse tank has finished cycling and I would like to use live plants or sea grasses instead of plastic. Something along the lines of Red Gracilaria and Ulva sp / Sea Lettuce. I hear the ponies prefer live plants for hitching posts. My goal is to have the tank completely cycled and established before I order my CB Seahorses.

seagrasses are pretty difficult to sustain. i'm in the process of trying to figure out how to keep them alive in a future seahorse tank, but i'm not sure how it's gonna go. they require high lighting and nutrient-rich substrate. but anyway, a better idea would be sticking to macros. and to your good luck, the species you listed are in fact macroalgaes and not plants :D a good place to get macros is from another user on here whose name is billsreef. just pm him and he can help you out more in regards to caring for those macros. good luck!
