Hi Bob, Been catching up on reefkeepers and saw you mention a phycology culture course you had to take way back when. Are there any texts available for this subject (and can you recommend any you might know about) and would they be applicable to the types of algae available to the hobby. Specifically, I’ve tried some of the Rhodophyta that occasionally crop up (pun intended!) in the LFS but have never had much luck. I haven’t been able to find anyone who knows (or will confess to know) much about the culture of tropical macroalgae. As you may know I was trying to find someone to speak on that topic for WMC but even Jim Wolfe, who did his thesis (or was it dissertation?) on one of our local macroalgae punted at that suggestion.
