Hi everyone! Here's a couple questions about macroalgae;
1 - What PAR at the substrate is required to get decent macroalgae growth?
2 - Will 10 turnovers per hour work for most macros?
3 - Would injecting CO2 benefit macroalgae like it does freshwater plants? (I am going to be experimenting with CO2 dosing with a planted tank soon). On a similar vein, would macroalgae benefit from freshwater aquarium fertilizers?
4 - Is there an ideal nitrate/phosphate/etc nutrient level for macros?
5 - Did I miss anything?
I do not currently have any saltwater tanks, but I would like to try a macroalgae tank again some day. Thanks![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
