As part of a past purchase, another member gave me a large bag of red nori sheets. I haven't kept count, but I'm guessing there were at least 50 (8x8) sheets. He didn't recall where he'd gotten them.

Having four tangs, I go through this stuff pretty quickly. I still have several sheets left, but before I run dry I was wondering if anyone knew where to get this stuff in large lots locally. Doesn't have to be red, I actually prefer the green, and the fish love both.

Thanks,
Brian
 
HMart or any other Asian grocery store. Bufford highway or jimmy carter blvd.
 
Aquarium specialty had some in 8x8 I think I cut mine into 4x4 squares so I have 200 sheets
 
Beware the Asian markets Nori. It's grown commercially and loaded with phosphates

All nori is processed the same. there's no special de- phoshating procedure done on marine grade.

But be careful because some of it is toasted with sesame oil and sometimes salted.
 
Thanks all. I'm right next to Chamblee, so H Mart, or the various others is pretty convenient. Now that I think about it, the sheets originally were wrapped in paper with Asian writing. That's probably where these came from.

LOL You know Heath I'm just giving you a hard time. But now I'm thinking of an awesome Sushi roll made like your Nori Plane.

Ha! It is funny that cleaning time is also feeding time on some weekends when the glass has enough build up that it comes off in rolls or sheets as I slide the scraper. The fish used to be scared of cleaning, now it's just like another feeding. Unfortunately for them, it rarely gets that much film anymore.

Oh, I don't know, I was thinking about mixing it up with a little teriyaki flavor. Fish need new experiences too!

Yeah, I actually do the same thing. Those smaller sheets are gone within a matter of seconds!

I read it and was just laughing thinking of a plane made out of Nori.

Get it wet, fold it into a paper airplane, let it dry... :)
 
I buy nori by the case (1000) sheets . All of it is collected the same way. Make sure there are no additives. I feed 1 to 3 sheets every day.

Edit: Here is where I get mine from. Going to be ordering in the next few weeks.

I think Marine grade would be the key. It's not the processing but the commercial operation of growing it for food. Phosphates are fertilizer and most growers will try to maximize yield by heavy feeding. I personally know someone whose used some from the asian market and their phosphates reached 5 in the process of crashing their tank.

If you do use the food type I would always go with the "raw certified organic."
 
I got a large package from pure reef that has garlic. I feed about a half a sheet every other day.
