macroalgae order?

[Rhodophyta]

Anyone interested in going together on an order for marine plants from Hawaii? This company, Rain Garden Ornamentals in Hawaii, has both freshwater plants and Hawaiian macroalgae. I didn't see anything freshwater I wanted at their prices or don't already have, but the macros looked interesting.

What kinda money are you talking??

I'm setting up a fuge soon and need some macro & I'm over in Cuyahoga Falls, so pickup at your place would be pretty convenient.

I'll PM you my phone #, could you give me a ring to discuss this??

Thanks,

This is what they have, I would say pick what you want and then split the shipping costs, which from Hawaii will add something to the cost.

I might be interested too. My goal is to set up a refugium over the holidays. I live nearby as well.

If you guys could use some plants right now. I won more than I can use at the PMAS Megaraffle in Pittsburgh tonight. Most of the extra is that ever popular Chaetomorpha.
