    Where do you keep your macroalgae? (Not Chaeto)

    I'm curious what everyone does with there macroalgae. I've been keeping mine in my nano display for a little over a year now and it's slowly taking over our caulerpa is slowly taking over, but I love keeping it. In the display tank, we decided to go a more traditional route with a sump...

    Distilled or Tap Water?

    Hey all! I'm currently setting up a macroalgae tank and as a college student, an RO/DI system isn't practical. I was wondering if I could use distilled water instead. I know it's not as good as rodi, but maybe the macros would like slightly "dirty" water? There is a water machine at my local...

    Will this Work as Refugium Light?

    Was looking into lights for a refugium and remembered I had this Aqueon Planted Aquarium Light: It would be going on the back of a HOB refugium for my 45g AIO. Will this thing work for a refugium and growing chaeto? I'm new to refugiums so wasn't sure.

    Chaeto vs. Caulerpa. Which is more effective?

    So I’m sure a bunch of you have seen @Bulk Reef Supply ’s videos on chaeto in a refugium and their graphs of nitrate and phosphate over time. Does anyone have anything similar for caulerpa? Or, anecdotal evidence for caulerpa to compare against chaeto in terms of phosphate and nitrate réduction...

    Will high nitrates kill microfauna?

    I finished cycling my tank a few days ago and my nitrates are very high (about 100ppm). I already planned on getting some chaeto for my refugium, so I was thinking about buying already and let it absorb the nitrates, but I'm afraid that in those conditions the pods that may come with the chaeto...

    Cooking Ulva lactuca

    I purchased a Kessil H380 for my fuge as I had planned on growing chaeto but it didn't work out. After speaking with @AlgaeBarn they really helped me out and I moved to Ulva lactuca, "Sea Lettuce". It is growing great but I'm overpowering it with the Kessil. If I don't remember to "stir" it...
