Hello everyone, I’m considering adding Asparagopsis taxiformis as a macroalgae species in my reef system and would appreciate expert feedback from anyone who has firsthand experience with it. Specifically, I would like to know: Is Asparagopsis taxiformis safe for use in a reef aquarium that...

Good afternoon! I have a 125g display with a 100g basement sump (stock tank). I want to add a large refugium as a source of pods, nutrient export, and pH buffer. I picked up a rimless 50g tank that I want to set up as a combination macro algae display and fuge. The lighting cycle would be...

Hey yall, I recently got some new macroalgae shipped and introduced into my tank. A week in, I noticed it began to whiten from the base outward. The plant is still holding a firm shape but I'm not sure what's going on. I provided some before and after pictures. Do you think it's just adjusting...

Hello, so I had been running chaeto in my water box reef lx 290.6 nutrients were 55 nitrate and phosphate .05 Increased light period from 8 hrs to 14 hrs a day. (while also doing water changes to get nutrients under control) Currently my nitrate is 20 and phosphate is .1 My refugium is...

Hello everyone! I've wanted to get some macroalgae in my 65L tank for a whiilleeee and recently my LFS was kind enough to give me a small cutting of a macroalgae (im not sure which species though) and now I want some more! I'll attach some pics of my tank (the rock is a bit sparse, i plan to get...

I have been growing a red mangrove for a year now (6 sets of leaves but most have fallen off given time) and I recently repotted it into a 5 gallon, no salinity or water parameter changes but this new water is full of tannins. I fear I may have damaged the roots and salt is getting inside the...

Hi, got this macro from a friend, but not sure what it is. Can anyone help ID this?

Does anyone have any theories as to what causes the proliferation of "red coralline"? I believe the species isn't actually a part of the coralline family but rather a red thalloid algae from the genus Peyssonnelia sp. or maybe Hildenbrandia rubra. Some systems appear to have none, whilst others...

When I first put all the macros in this tank, a dino bloom quickly came about, and it was a mess. A LFS that I frequent told me to do a 48 hour total blackout, followed by 2 weeks of daily dosing of these three products: And it very much worked, the progress a few weeks later can be seen in...

I Have this 15g macro algae tank, and it’s been up for about 6-7 months, what could this be? What would I do, I make 20% water change every week.

Good morning everyone! I am having trouble with a caulerpa infestation for a long time now, i tried manual removal every week, out competing the caulerpa with chaeto in the refugium and with more corals. Also 2 years ago i took out all of the rocks and scrubbed them down, took my friend and me...
