    Lighting for Macro Algae and Corals

    What is the best lighting option for both corals and macro algae in a mixed reef display tank? I currently have an AI Prime 16HD. But I read that full spectrum might be better for macros.

    When to introduce macro algae in a new tank?

    I just started cycling my rock in a trash can. I intend to setup my tank in June. How long should I wait before adding macro algae to a display tank? Can I do it in June, or should I wait a few months?

    Red bubble algae or red grape algae?
