Thanks for the links to the algae page and others. Nice to be able to Id my three or 4 algae.

I have good luck with cheato, and Calerpa prolifera.. and might trade for other genera like the reds or browns if anyone cares

Diazotrophyand diversity of benthic cyanobacteria in tropical coastal zones; Karolina Bauer; Mats formed primarily of cyanobacteria are not uncommon in reef tanks. There is a lot of information within this thesis about these mats and the cyanobacteria that make them. ALSO: Some information about the current taxonomy of cyano (Order/Family/Genus); explanation of N2 fixing in cyanos; the formation of Heterocysts (specialized N2 fixing cells); N2 fixing not involving Heterocysts; diel cycles and N2 fixing...IOW a lot of info on how cyanos can fix nitrogen and how it's related to mat building in marine environments.

What happened to the $1 per seed I had offered to pay you?
I can see your profiting on the idea I started you on! At least honor what was agreed upon before you started selling at $3 each!
That wasn't cool-you never answered my pm's after you agreed to send me at $1 each.
