Mine aren't too far off how I got them on Live Rock, and mowed a little by my hermits, so nothing impressive. Yet ;)

I want to grow all of these into luscious macro bushes and the like someday. So I'll tag along for the ride in this thread.

Oh and here's my sump as of a few weeks ago

Fun part is growing it. Thanks for sharing.
I'm back in my home town, and we have some of the better beaches in all of Aus, so I went for a swim, and there were so many types and so much everywhere. So before I fly home, I'll try and get some bits of all sorts and show them to you all!

Here was the refuge tank on the system I was running before I moved. I had several varieties of macro algae in the tank. I can't wait to start my new tank with a display refuge tank full of macro algae.
