macroalgae

I'm looking to buy a lot of different types of macros to add to my collection in a 90g tank I started in January. I already have and thus not looking for: -Red Ogo -Red/pink galaxaura -Blue scroll algae -Red titanophora -Blue hypnea -Red king thorn -Botryocladia Occidentalis (red grape)...

After searching for refugiums for my 20 gallon salt tank i found little to nothing that would work or was sold to fit that product need. I was wondering if anyone else has found a company that makes this, or has any experience making their own? I made my own using a breeder box then adding a...

Hello all! First post here on the forum, been in the shadows for a while though. Nice to meet you all! I'm stocking a display refugium and this post is to a) show off, c) request specific IDs if anyone knows them, and b) find anyone in the Southern California area willing to sell, trade, or...

What started out as a FOWLR tank with macro algae for a bluestripe pipefish and pygmy filefish evolved into a beautiful, natural looking soft coral and invert dominated reef tank. The Equipment: - Seachem tidal 35 HOB filter - 528 gph powerhead - 50 watt heater - 10lbs of live rock - 10lbs...

I dosed Vibrant several times with some good results, but algae still grows. I know it will look great over time, but long term will not solve my nutrient issues. I know managing a refugium is going to be a better solution long-term. I did not realize how detrimental it was to Macroalgae and...

Hey all- Been a lurker here for a while, but decided to create a build thread for my latest tank :D When I rebooted this tank my goal was to create a beautiful macroalgae display that would require minimal maintenance. Along the way, I started to notice that most of the things I planned on...

My cabinet is in the peninsula style, with doors on both sides of the cabinet. I obviously need a normal-sized sump, for protein skimmer, ClariSea, Return pump. But, next to the sump I could fit a narrow, tall tank to make a much bigger, taller refugium than I could have in-sump. For example: 7...

Hi, I have about 2 bags of chaeto about 3/4 of the quart size zip lock bag. I will be $10 plus shipping. Shipping is probably around $8-$14 via USPS flat rate box. Let me know your zip and I can give you a quote on shipping. Let me know if anyone is interested in it. Here is my paypal...

I am looking for suggestions on places to purchase decorative macroalgae! Hopefully, I can compile a comprehensive enough list for a stickied thread. There were one or two similar threads but they are many years old. If you are suggesting a place you have already bought from please include a...

good morning everyone, I have an 80 gallon waterbox frag tank and have been getting a bad outbreak of black Cyano carpeting my sand. We recently moved into the 23rd floor of a skyscraper and our walls are windows, the tank is getting blasted by natural sunlight everyday. I’m unsure how to...

Lets talk about gorgonians... They're an underappreciated coral that can be very beautiful if highlighted in the right way. About a year and a half ago, I started seeing them pop up in my local stores and I started collecting (more like hoarding) all of them, at least the photosynthetic ones...

This is a love story. About a [tigah]boy who fell in love with macroalgae... So I became totally enamored with macroalgae when I added them to a couple of my prior reef tanks (you can find them here in this thread), and I've always been drawn to the freshwater planted tank/scape aesthetic, so...

Hi all, I am a marine biologist and need some seaweed of the genus Asparagopsis sp. (Limu kohu) for my research. I wonder if any of you have cultures, or know where I could purchase it, as getting it from the sea is complicated nowadays. Thanks a lot!

So I am thinking to switching to esv ionic b two part to simplify my dosing. However, I currently dose chaetogro as my macroalgae would die without it (as it has before since I do no water changes and quickly depleted the relevant trace elements even when dosing red sea iron and such. Has anyone...

I have been keeping, messing with, and experimenting with mangroves for years. I have read information far and wide, and utilized experience of other refers on here as well. I hope this becomes the one stop spot for inspiration and information. I hope that other mangrove aficionados join in with...

One of the first things I bought for my newbie reef tank was a rock with several mushrooms. It had a tiny piece of this attached. Now it's trying to take over my tank. It's a constant battle to keep it removed and it clings to everything. I am setting up a new tank with a sump and refugium...

I've never seen an algae this long. I'd say the longest strand is nearly a foot. Doesn't appear to be hair algae, more like a weird brownish clearish macroalgae of some sort? It's attached to the clamshell. Trochus and astrea snails simply eat whats growing on top of it.

Hello, I hope you can help me a little bit. I am having issues with botryocladia losing it's bubbles wherever I grow it. Just to clarify first, I am very experienced macro algae grower and have around 20 different species growing nicely at the moment on a 800 litre system with 3 separate growth...

Hi guys, As the title suggests I gathered some more macros today. I was hoping someone could help me ID them. Thanks!

Hi guys, Firstly I would like clarification on what type of blenny this is. Is it an Orange spot blenny? It seems to have very close similarities but doesn't have the little "antenna" on its head. This brings me to the second question: just what is the lump on his head? Just behind his eye...

in the ideal world, we would love to have only Chaeto (or some prefer Caulerpa) in their fuge (sump) but in saying that, if worst come to worst, the refugium is filled with all sort of misc. algaes i.e. GHA, Caulerpa, Chaeto, Red Dragon, Bryopsis .. does it really matter? I mean as long as they...

Sump getting out of control need to seal atleast 7 bags. As shown there are pieces of red macros in the chaeto mostly red gracilaria, hayi and some others I have had caulerpa also so some might come with it. The size or portion is as shown bigger then a baseball or hand. Going for 18 shipped
