Not sure if this thread already exists I could find one. But would love to see some other peoples macro algae focused tanks. Mine is only a chamber in my sump but i absolutely love it and want to set up a larger macro algae tank.

Thanks! I’ve got two AI primes on it. I run an AB+ with extra white. These are all filterless photos but it’s a lot less blue in person
Great, you just give me some ideas. Thanks

So this new macro algae showed up in my tank! I never put it in the system! I’ve have this TBS live rock for several month and never once did I see this algae. However after sometime for the tank to settle and the macros to take a foothold it had started growing! It must have been the tiniest splotch on one of the rocks and still survived this whole time! This is part of why I love macro algaes (and corals too) their hardiness ability to survive. Anyone know what it’s called?
