macro algae

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...

First time joining a forum and for the most part my relatively new reef is going quite well. Fast growing favia Brightly coloured zoas New heads on acans New heads on blastos Back Story I set up a nano tank back in September but quickly swapped out my planted tank setup for a larger marine...

Just got some ogo yesterday, today i woke up and theres brown slime algea growing all over it. Is this normal?

Just cleaning out my sump have about 4 bags 50 plus pm me shipping

Let me know what you have. I would need it to be shipped to Las Vegas, NV.

I wanted to share a tank project I am working on in hopes for a bit of advice, most specifically in regards to lighting. I have a pretty large mangrove that I have had for a number of years. The mangrove is about 6 years old and I have had it for the last 3 years. I have kept a few moderately...

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...

Need to get some cheatomorphia out the way I think I can make 10 bags 21 shipped. Nice and healthy

The seller thought it might be Dragon's Breath but it doesn't really look like it to me.

Hi all, So I thought it might be cool to add some macroalgae to my DT: green finger, shaving brush, or mermaid's fan... I have a 150g mixed reef tank. about 6mos old. This is my first reef tank. Looking at liveaquaria.com, those are the three I'm interested in...
