    Growing Macro Algae in the Display...No Refugium!?!

    This is one of those things that has baffled me since rejoining the hobby earlier this year. Why doesn't macro algae seem to do well in the display, despite all corals thriving? More specifically, does a lack of red/white light deprive the macro algae of the spectrum it requires to thrive...

    Macroalgae for Display?

    Hey Everyone, Anyone have recommendations for macroalgae in the DT? Avoiding chaeto since it can cover everything up. Looking for aesthetics and the usual nitrate reduction properties. Also a little safe haven for pods. I have heard of shaving bush but looking for more options thanks!

    Caulerpa Prolifera rhizomes, or going sexual?

    I put some caulerpa prolifera in my fuge about two weeks ago, and some of leaves started going translucent and decaying. I don't know if it was exclamation stress or if it went sexual, but now there's a bunch of these little white whiskery growths. From Reading some articles I think that is...

    Macroalgae tank

    So I started a new 29 gallon macroalgae tank. However, I only have two of those $100 reef LEDs that you get from Amazon. Will these lights be able to grow macroalgae, or would I have to invest in a 6500k light or grow light?
