macro algae

I'm looking to buy a lot of different types of macros to add to my collection in a 90g tank I started in January. I already have and thus not looking for: -Red Ogo -Red/pink galaxaura -Blue scroll algae -Red titanophora -Blue hypnea -Red king thorn -Botryocladia Occidentalis (red grape)...

After searching for refugiums for my 20 gallon salt tank i found little to nothing that would work or was sold to fit that product need. I was wondering if anyone else has found a company that makes this, or has any experience making their own? I made my own using a breeder box then adding a...

Hello everyone Im starting a soft coral, lps and macroalga farm in Kent Washington, large scale and secret. Does any one have any advise on live stock. I've been doing this since 1997 and its easy now but I'm not sure where to start besides building my systems. I need to know what people want...

My tank is stable and I will begin to SLOWLY repopulate the tank. I am working towards keeping and maintaining a Hawaiian ridgeline/insular Pacific/Indo Pacific shallowish reef ECOSYSTEM. (The dream every one wants to live, I know.) Inverts, micro flora/fauna/bacteria, and macro algae is first...

Im deciding on whether or not I want to set up a refugium. Really the decision is on how I want to set it up. I love the mandarian Goby (who doesn't) and feel like the best way to keep one is with a fuge. I had one for 2 years previously, but had to move and tear down the tank and sold him. I...

Hello All, Been at this over a year and like to learn so I practically visit reef2reef daily. I have a question I haven't seen answered here. I have for the last year had a 32 Gallon Refugium. It is a standalone and Macros such as Ulva, Chaeto, are growing well but I am not sure if this is a...

We ordered Gracilaria online. It arrived mostly red, in a bag of goopy red, really foul smelling water. Rinsed it in clean salt water, cut out most slimy green sections, and glued to a rock in our QT. Overnight portions have changed color to bright Orange. Is it dead? Should we take it out and...

There are plenty of threads asking for suggestions on what fish or inverts to get to control unwanted algae, but for those of us (like me) that want to keep attractive (and sometimes rare or expensive) macro algae in their DT, what fish and inverts have you found that are the safest to keep in...

Stuff is pretty and grows pretty quick. My tuxedo urchin loves it too! Definitely helped reduce phosphates. Just have too much than I desire for my display. Algae barn sells it starting $15 for a golf ball size. I’ll fill up a sandwich bad for $15. I think I can sell about three bags. Local...

Some of you may have seen my post about a month ago on wanting to grow bubble algae as my moms Christmas present. Well I did it, and this is the build thread for that tank...

Pics attached .. I think it might be a mermaids cup ... but I’m not sure , there’s a lot of different species of macro algae so it is hard to identify but would love the R2R help on this one ! Thanks in advance Description : small water lily type pads growing off live rock in algae .

Thoughts on what this is? I thought it was red bubble algae, but it looks like it has small stalks... so I’m wondering if it’s actually a grape macro instead.

Prepare yourself for a rather long first post. This thread is going to document all of the tanks I have in my fish room. Which should be a relatively simple task, but I recently broke my own 2 tank limit. So now there is four of them. I have no idea how this happened. 40 Breeder Display...

I’m just now creating a build thread for this tank even though it’s probably 2 and a half years old. So let’s go back to the start and work our way through the last couple years with pictures... first set up photo in my old apartment: removed the grape caulerpa because it grows super fast...

I'm in need of chaeto for my refugium but all my LFS are out. Trend is consistent with online stores such as LiveAquaria and Algae Barn. However, does anyone know of another online supplier that sells clean/pest free chaeto? What are some other macros algae to consider for my refugium? Its...

Good Day! I have been growing this for years but only after moving to a new tank has this started to pop! now I want to propagate this algae to another side of the tank and I was wondering if anyone can help me identify and give me some tips to propagate this algae successfully

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...

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...

Hey all! Just set up my Fluval Evo last night and I plan on making it a macroalgae tank! For equipment I'm using: -100 Watt Cobalt neotherm heater -Sicce syncra 0.5 pump -stock light For the scape, I figured I would keep the rockwork low and let the algae give it height (let me know what you...

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.

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...

Looking to add a couple types of macro to my reef tank to break up the corals looking for a more natural look for my tank ...also in return having them also be a food source and a nutrient reducing livestock any suggestions I'm new to the whole macro algae thing but i hear nothing but good...
