macro algae

So! I'm one of those people that tried to keep a snowflake with fish, and while it's worked out so far. I'm slowly starting to see her get nippy towards fish on feeding day so when I move my fish and coral to my new tank, she is going to stay in the 4pg cube until I find a suitable new tank...

My blue hypnea macro is growing out of control. I have approximately 1.5" to 2" sections for $30, including usps priority shipping. Piece won't be attached to anything, but it attaches pretty easily after a week or two. It usually appears grayish after shipping, but it should brighten to a...

Hey guys! I have been wanting to do a dedicated macro algae nano for a while now and am trying to brainstorm a different fish to house in the new tank, as I already have 2 nanos set up each with a pair of clownfish. I absolutely love blue spot jawfish, but have never kept one due to them being...

Hello, I am looking at purchasing a couple Intank Media Baskets for my Fluval Flex 32.5. I was wondering how everybody liked them? Do they work well with the stock pump as far a flow and everything. Also, what do your filter media set ups look like? Has anyone actually had luck with Macro Algae...

For fun, I decided to write and submit the Wikipedia page for Gracilaria parvispora two months ago (I am Coughdrop12 on Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons), which is now the second Wikipedia page I have written so far: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gracilaria_parvispora It got a pretty low quality...

Thank you everyone for your interest! We have enough takers for this batch and the next. Please message me if you would like to be added to a wait list since we need to harvest this macro every 3-4 weeks. Thank you! Gracilaria curtissae I’ve had this macro in my tank for a year and it readily...

Is this Gracilaria Curtissiae ? need accurate Id but I’ve been calling it Gracilaria. LFS calls it dragons tongue. And is anyone interested in taking some off my hands? We’ve already fully stocked our LFS and it just keeps growing! :) Side note: we keep a natural tank with pests such as...

20G Red Sea max Nano AIO tank is currently 4 months old and is still going through ugly brown algae phase. I am currently using brightwells xport no3 and biocubes to keep nitrite and nitrates under control, as the tank is overstocked. Fish seem happy and healthy, and water parameters seem fine...

Hello, I was wondering if anyone knows any good sources that sell mermaids wine glass and when would be a good time to look for it! I have been looking for this algae for a really long time but it is always out of stock!

Last year's freeze in TX hit my 6 yo tank pretty hard and I didn't have a battery powered heater or pump to save it :( Unfortunately, most of the fish, the inverts, coral, and sponges did not survive. I take a lot of pride in the care of my critters so, losing so much of my tank so quickly hit...

I recently started a Macro Algae tank that has 2 mangroves in it, of course they cam from Algae Barn! Anyway, The tank has been running for a few month and I was wondering if anybody has had huge amounts of growth or very slow growth with mangroves?? When I got mine they had small roots on...

Hi! So after many years of wanting to set up a reef tank I am finally starting on my salty journey. I have kept FW for the last five years, the last two and a half was a 29 gallon planted tank that was rock solid. I sold it so now I can set up my 32.5 gallon Fluval Flex. My plan is to use...

Attached Chaetomorpha antennina is the first image on Wikipedia's Chaetomorpha page How many of you all have come across attached Chaetomorpha, in captivity? When I was figuring out macroalgae with my first build years ago, I discovered that Chaetomorpha is capable of attaching itself to rocks...

Time for a new build! The plan is to do a Mangrove/Macroalgae tank time with the possibility of adding some mushrooms and/or other softies in the future. The tank and cabinet get delivered today. Planned Hardware: Lighting: Hydra 32 Freshwater Pump: Sicce 1.0 Wavemaker: Nero 3 I'm drawing...

I'm starting this build thread a little early. I am moving apartments in late March and am using that opportunity to transfer my Waterbox Peninsula Mini 25 contents to the new lagoon layout. It fit's my desired look far better, allowing for mangroves and more horizontal space for macro algaes...

For those of you that have the Drop in AIO kit. What did you do to stop your macro algae from going throught your baffles and didn’t impeded your water flow?

I’m moving apartments in late March. I’m considering using the opportunity to attempt converting my tank to a macro algae mixed reef tank with mangroves. looking at either a 20 or 30 gallon tank at 2ft wide. Anyone have experience with these kinds of tanks? And if you do, do you have any...

So i did a recent upgrade from a 32biocube to a 40 Breeder. The old light I had for my refugium just isn’t going to cut it/turning the whole dinning room pink. So was looking into new lights to help contain the light. Was seeing if anyone had success with the biocube light as I can easily attach...

Interested if anybody knows what type of algae this is? It hitched a ride on live rock when my tank was set up and it started to grow on a few rocks. I like the look I just don’t want to get out of control.

Hi all, I'm at just about my limit with trying to grow chaeto. My nutrients are usually around 30-40 ppm nitrate and .03 -.06 phophsate. I've got plenty of flow through the sump. I've used a kessil h380 and recently bought an A360x thinking the h380 might have just been too intense. It's hung...
