Saltwater plants Marine Plants Live Macro algae

 

 

Dragons Breath  also called Dragon Tongue macro algae is one of the most beautiful algae for a display. Great for introducing into marine aquariums. As a nutrient exporter, it absorbs, or feeds on dissolved organic waste. This algae thrives on fish waste, nitrates, & phosphates. These dangerous biochemicals that we constantly strive to keep down in our saltwater aquariums,  which are poison to our fish and invertebrates,  are the food that this algae consumes. Thus it is a big contributor to maintaining a healthy aquarium system for our captive kept animals. So you can say it helps along with our protein skimmers to purify our water. Introducing this micro algae is a natural way of maintaining good water quality for our corals also. Have a habitat for your Copepods, Amphipods, and other micro organisms in your tank.

Application:

You can place this algae just about anywhere. Slow to Medium Current. Main tank or refugium. As long as it gets some light. It does not have roots. 

Another benefit of having this algae growing in our saltwater tank is that it is a haven for amphipods, copepods, mysid shrimp and snails, and baby fish fry. Many small micro cleaning crew animals will set up nests in this lush algae. So growing this Saltwater Macro algae in your tank will promote the growth and well-being of the micro fauna, Zooplankton in your system.

We have been working on culturing this strain of Beautiful Saltwater Plants Macro Algae for 5 years. We have achieved a hardy specimen that can take transplanting and differing water conditions and lighting.

Combine this with other algae or products in our store and save on combined shipping.

Other benefits: By growing Dragons Breath macro algae in our systems, it out-competes other nuisance species like green hair algae and Cyano Bacteria (red slime) for the nutrients in the water. Thus this algae is great for keeping those unwanted destructive algae at bay or even non-existent in the tank over time. What we mean by absorbing nutrients in the tank is that by growing, it is using the Phosphates, Nitrates, Nitrites caused by fish waste in the tank for food or fuel as we sometimes refer to it. So the more it grows the more it can filter the water. Macro algae is a great nutrient exporter to help keep pristine water quality in your coral reef tank.
