Here’s my macroalgae tanks as they were at their best.
a 60l/15g fluval spec with the internal filter section removed, Berlin filtration with just a power head and a heater in terms of equipment. Only the royal gramma in the photo is still with me. It’s been joined by a neon goby and a yellow clown goby, and I hope to get an azure damsel. Also a pistol shrimp, a bi valve, and a scutus which is quite rare
a 22l/5.5g pico with chunks of real wild Australian reef rock housing two eviotas and lots of cool inverts - pom pom crab, urocaridella shrimp, sexy shrimp, hermits, various snails (one of which was a hitchhiker straight from Australia), a feather duster and the mangroves.

Macro species:
- Caulerpa Taxifolia (some believe this to be quite sensitive to going sexual but I’ve not found this to be the case, certainly not when compared to serrulata)
- Caulerpa Prolifera
- Caulerpa peltata dwarf racemosa (a rare one - like a mini green grape which clambers over the rockwork and send up very short little stalks with little grapes on it)
- Caulerpa brachypus (which is like a mini prolifera, and can be grown like a carpet on the sand… something I might have to try at some point)
- Halymenia Maculata (a rare one - reddy browny colouration but with the most amazing flourescence - not like corals per se but a bluey purpley colour that really catches the eye (like it does on some freshwater fish) when the light hits it)
- Gracilaria Mammillaris
- Gracilaria Tikvahiae
- Botryocladia
- Blue Ochtodes (amazing purple colouration but it’s hugely invasive!)
- Cryptonemia Crenulata (which grows crazy fast for me for some reason)
- A red plating corraline algae of some kind
