+1 Chaeto grows faster, rabbitfish eats harvested drag breath.I'm hoping to put some macro algae into my sump but is there a difference between the two in terms of growth and nutrient export?
I have never grown Chaeto, however Dragons Breath grows very very fast if lit properly and is much better looking.
It does better in a whiter light.I was wondering what light spectrum you use for the Dragons Breath? I’ve heard it’s a different spectrum from green macros, but don’t know what to use. Thanks!
Interesting @SubseaFrom the point of nutrient export, chaeto beats dragon breath hands dow. Considering exudates from macro, the Dragons Bteath is soft and fleshy and will put back more DOC into water column. I consider Dragons Breath an ornamental and Chaeto as utilitarian
I use full spectrum... a little on the warm side.I was wondering what light spectrum you use for the Dragons Breath? I’ve heard it’s a different spectrum from green macros, but don’t know what to use. Thanks!
Interesting @Subsea
Could the extra DOC have an additional effect to decrease nutrient levels more than chaeto by carbon dosing the tank?
In my case this is not wanted because I am having to dose nutrients, but it may be a reason to change to some calcified green algaes rather than mostly dragonsbreath and red ogo in my display fuge.

I would guess the Caribbean. The seller used to collect there.That’s a lot of Halymenia. Outstanding, it looks very clean. Did it come from GOM or Caribbean?
