macro algae

I ordered some blue hypnea online for my dwarf seahorse tank, they sent two VERY large portions of it. The first bag that I already put in the tank seemed to be clean, but I still rinsed it in fresh saltwater and hopefully there isn’t anything on it. This second bag has hydroids attached to the...

Hey guys, I have a 32 gallon biocube FOWLR setup and a plant has randomly sprouted. This tank has been established for almost two years now and has never had any sort of corals or macro-algae introduced to it. The plant seems to wilt and die and then spring back up randomly. It has brown little...

So I have a display refugium I’ve made a few posts about and I’m battling some cyano in it. I’m thinking about doing a blackout for 72hrs to try to kill the cyano. Will my macro survive that? Or will I just kill it all?

Hello ! As the title says my question for you lovely people is do you have a Dream Pet or maybe algea that you wish to get but is pretty hard to get ? For me its by far Hypnea pannosa or blue hypnea macro algea which is here in Germany apparently extremly uncommon. Maybe you guys can share...

So I have a display refugium plumbed into my main display. In the refugium I have some what I believe is cyano starting to grow. How can I combat this in a refugium without damaging the ornamental macro algae? Nitrate is 8-10ppm Phosphate is 0 - 0.03ppm I’ll attach some photos of the what I...

Hey everyone! I wanted to start a thread mainly so that I could document this tanks big move and ongoing build for myself, and anyone who wants to follow along with this adventure. I've wanted to run a macro algae/mixed reef tank for a long time. I personally feel this mix tends to capture...

Hope everyone is well. I’ve had this macro algae growing in my overflow box for a long time. My buddy who’s been in the hobby since the 80’s tells me it’s some kind of macro algae and I’m just curious as to what kind it is since I’ve never seen it in other reefs, and I service a lot of...

As the title says, I’m looking for a AI light that will sufficiently grow macro algae but I don’t want just the refugium ones since it is a display tank. My current light is a freshwater planted tank light that seems to work pretty well. However I would like to switch to as much AI equipment as...

I'm looking to do 15g of macroalgae as soon as I can move my mudskippers to another tank. Mostly I look for pictures of your macroalgae tanks to get an idea of whether it would look good or bad. So, if you have a macroalgae tank, I'd like to see a photo please! :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes:

I am venturing into growing macros in the fuge section of my sump. Local person is selling Atomic Broccoli Red Macro and as the title says, what are some keys to success with red macros? Suggested lights? I’ve red red macros are deeper water and thrive in blue spectrum? Any sump inhabitants...

I got this from my local LFS free of charge, it was growing like crazy on some of their rock but gets removed pretty easily. I promised them that I will call them once I get an ID on the algae, anywhere here's the pic.

Hi I’m new and look for macro algea that’s not mangrove or chaeto, anyone in the area looking to sell any?

Hello everyone I’m new here to reef2reef, still learning the in and outs of this forum but I’m searching for macro algae that’s not chaeto or mangrove. It seems to be almost impossible to find in store or even online stocked so curious if anyone has anything, thank you for y’all’s help! Willing...

Rebuilt my macro algae tank after moving to Pittsburgh. Hooked up my XR15 Pro since it's idleing. Will be getting more red macro tomorrow. Please excuse my very chaotic background

Hello! I have some questions regarding stocking and light requirements. I'm not new to fishkeeping, just saltwater specifically- so I wanna make sure I do this right the first time without bothering the same people I know over and over again. I have a Waterbox AIO Peninsula 15 gallon tank...

So I’ve had a 135g tank set up for just a little under a year so far. I’ve been doing things a bit out of the ordinary in terms of filtering and plumbing. Basically I didn’t want to use a sump or a hang on the back skimmer. So the best thing I found was Macroalgae. I plumbed a 30gallon cube...

Hey Guys! Im having some trouble with Macroalgae in my display tank. So, it started about a year ago. I just came back from living abroad, and my dad took care of water changes and basic maintenance. There was a lot of algae that i got rid of. It took some months but it eventually worked. Now...

I’m very much running out of room for all the filtration i wanna put on my tank. My sump is a 20g long diy build with the fiji cube baffle kit. So I’m thinking instead of using the refugium section in that sump as a refugium, I’ll just hook up all my external reactors and their pumps to that...

Has anyone ever kept macroalgae with anemones? Does one kill the other or do they do okay together? I have some red grape bubble algae that I want to put next to my BTA but not sure if it’s too risky or not.

Hello all, So I have bought numerous macro algae and they kept dying. Even used chaetogrow. One thing I used and seems to be working perfectly is Ferrion by brightwell aquatics which is an iron supplement. I struggled with keeping the macro algae alive for a while. But since I added this it...
