I am in California, where Caulerpa is banned. I have kept macroalgae tanks while living in other states, but Caulerpa is a pretty significant part of the aquarium macroalgaes out there. I made a post: Link, where I asked for Caulerpa alternatives, but nothing really matches the wide green leaf growth style of Caulerpa out there. This makes it pretty difficult to create aquascapes with macroalgae as the amount of wide leafed green algae is severely limited.

Does anyone have 'inspo' macroalgae scapes that don't have Caulerpa in them? I was thinking that the tank might become too red/purple/brown heavy.
