If feeding macro algae to grow fish, having several variety is a good thing. If fish are like me, when it comes to food, variety is the spice of life.
I have large algae refugiums with both Caulerpa & Chaeto mixed in. Neither work for feeding fish but they compost garden tomatoes.
I do indeed like ornamental macro in display tank. In this case I have mixed a low light Bortacladia with two fast growing Caulerpa’s to cycle this tank using ammonia and ChaetoGro. I intend to lower intensity and use 10K color rendition for display. Everything is temporary here except double layer 55G tank stand. Bottom level is for seed germination/growout for Spring garden.
