Great snowy day project. Just finished the plumbing for my 15 gal macro algae tank.
It's plumbed in to my main sump on the 125 gal . Took some doing but got it done.
Thinking of adding 3 or 4 types of macro algae. A nano fish or 2 . Maby a sallylightfoot crab . ( if they don't eat the macro). Any suggestions on the types of algae i should keep?

What lights are you running?

Are you using this for nutrient management or display refugium?
 
I'm thinking nutrient and display

I'm just using some full spectrum led
 
Not sure what full spectrum means. I run 10,000 Kevin color spectrum.

In the red macros, for display, I like Bortacladia and Gracilaria Hayi.

In the green macros, for utilitarian I like the Caulerpa family.
