tricks to keeping ulva alive?

Anyone know of any tricks to keep it alive for extended periods of time?
Seems like my pods just start completely decimating it faster than it can grow after about 1-2 months in the tank.

 

So you are not using it as pod food?

Get more pod eaters.

Haven't the foggiest idea. Definitely will follow along.

 

yeah you are pretty much stuck to harvesting them or protecting it with predators. pods kill me...you have no idea how much macro those $)#*(&$*#$ get of mine...they go nuts for Laurencia and shot glass algae too, drives me crazy... Increasing flow around the macro seems to slow them considerably.

 

thanks very much, guess its just doomed hahaha... I have lost some shot glass algae to them also

When i put in ulva my pod population literally EXPLODES! like this:

 

oh yeah for sure. you should see what caprellid amphipods do on gracilaria...wow...little army of stick figures wobbling about..lol.. pipefish would be cool in there by the way...

 

I was thinking the same thing about 6 weeks ago
Hes been very happy since and just started eating frozen cyclopeeze about 3 weeks ago

nice! what is it the say about great minds?

 

My ulna is nuts. It grows best and a little out of control on my coldest tank (that I keep a 63). We would drop it off every week at the LFS for their tangs. But it also grows very well in your average JBJ with stock lighting.

ahh cmon! and how do you keep pods from devouring it!
