macroalgae

Hi everyone! I’m new here. I decided to join the forum because many of the questions I’ve had recently were already answered in the discussions here. I have a tank with macroalgae and soft corals, and I’ve recently started to notice the first signs of Bryopsis. I’d like to know if anyone has...

I'm trying to grow Caulerpa prolifera by itself, not as a marine tank decoration or refugium. I initially used Gulf coast beach sand as a substrate but it clouded horribly every time I had to change water. I have substituted small pebbles (river rock) as a substrate to avoid this but included...

I have struggled with keeping a small Macroalgae refugium in my 80g AIO. I initially kept a small refugium in the rear sump area, with poor results. I even tried using a reactor to contain any muck, melting, and ensure the chaeto was getting enough flow and nutrients. This worked better but...

My name is Duima. I am in the Naples area. Started my reef tanks about 8 months ago. Started with one and now I have 4 😅. I have a 35 gl cube macroalgae and soft corals, 90 gallon mixed reef, 3 gallon pico macroalgae and a 6 gallon cube I recently setup! I am always looking for local reefers...

Hey everyone! I recently started a 25-gallon Water Box Peninsula tank using dry Marco rock, Ocean Direct sand, and Tropic Marin Pro Reef salt. I added one piece of live rock from a local fish store to seed biological diversity, but the majority of the hardscape is dry rock. I’m about two weeks...

I thought I had seen a few of these before I moved all my livestock from my nano to my 65g, but now seeing this on my glass this morning it very much looks like a tiger turbo snail like the ones that were in this tank before i made it into a macroalgae tank. Do I need to move it/them over to my...

What kind of Macro Algae do you use for your Tank? Just wondering what you all use in your tank, either in your sump or in a separate display?

In a couple months I’ll be moving all of the coral and iverts along with my one fish from my fluval evo 13.5g to my 65g where I have my other fish. I do not plan on moving any rock over from there though as I started with fresh dry rock in my 65g and I want to avoid hitchhikers in that tank...

Wanting to buy red macroalgaes. Open tosuggestions, but I currently have a bit of chaeto growing in my sump for my 275G tank. I was thinking about getting some red macros in order to help reduce nitrates/another natural export. I heard pom pom and dragons breath you can feed to ur tangs? Would...

Hello R2R! Had the chance to try out the new IOAOI 8 gallon tank and figured I'd try my hand with some dwarf seahorses. Equipment: Kessil 360 blue Innovative marine Nuvoskim desktop skimmer Mighty Jet 850103 return pump Aquamarine heater Stocking: 1 pepermint shrimp 2 bumblebee shrimp 1...

Hey everyone! I finally got back into reefing a little bit ago and have set up a display reef tank, a display macro-algae tank, and a frag tank since then! i didn’t take much for pics along the way, but i take a ton now that it’s all set up! i’m super excited to be getting back to growing...

There is this Macroalgae growing on my trochus snail and I was wondering if someone could ID it for me? The snail came from a tank filled with Dragons Breath so it might be that but it doesnt look like it so I’m not sure. It’s the short red algae growing on the sides, kind of looks like spikes...

Seems like the cheapest way to get macros is to get them from people who already have them. I'm looking for any macros really, specifcally halimeda at the moment. Just post pics, and I'll pm you if I'm interested. I also have red sea grapes and birdsnest gracillaria available for trade.

Barely had these ponies for a month and I am realizing I miss SPS too much. Getting rid of everything in the tank. Having a bit of a GHA issue. I got rid of my turbo snails because I really wanted to keep the blue hypnea algae. I’m pretty flexible with pricing. There are three of the bigger...

Hello again, i’m considering trying to set up a macroalgae tank for my first saltwater aquarium(probably a 75). I’m doing so partially because I really like the look, partially because I’ve heard it removes the need for a sump, and partially because i don’t want coral (at least for the...

Everywhere I find either doesn't sell many/any macros and if they do its all sold out :/

Howdy all… hoping for some help figuring out what to do lighting wise that is affordable and doesn’t break the bank, but can support my macro algae and softies (mushrooms and a couple leathers)… I had a 7.5gal tank with everything built it but it sprung a leak and we did an emergency upgrade...

This was labeled as Dragon's Breath when I got my hands on it, but after a month or two in my main display under intense lighting from my freshwater spectrum light it took on a very dense form like this. Grows in that less fluffy, more sharp-and-twisty way that dragon's breath is supposed to...

Hello! As a kid, aquariums were always my main hobby. I had a simple nano FOWLR with a pair of clownfish and some inverts for many years and a low tech freshwater planted tank as well. Never really had the money to go much further than that and then college came along and I had to sell both the...
