Kelp Question

[xavier]

I have gotten the itch to get comments.
I would like to set up a tank to grow kelp. I live in So California and I see much of it when snorkling and was wondering if it would be possible to set a tank and grow this at home.
Parameters? Environment?

If your talking agout taking the wild stuff home,Just get a sample of the water where it's growing and test it for everything,including temp,and current. Then copy it at home. Should work. GOOD LUCK...STEVE

Thanks. My big concern was light. When I go out It seems pretty dark.
Anyone else curious to set this up.
I will in a few weeks give it a try. Will also research on other habitants locally. I know there are tons of sea urchins here. They are everywhere.

If you could integrate this tank into your system The filteration,and aeration would be very benifitial. STEVE
