ID on these macros? Greennin the left, and the red one? They look awesome.

Bottom left is Chaetomorpha, top left is Caulerpa racemosa, red is Botryocladia, middle green is Caulerpa prolifera.ID on these macros? Greennin the left, and the red one? They look awesome.

Thanks.
Sorry, I used wrong pic- I meant these guys
Thanks
Right on - left is Caulerpa prolifera, right looks like Agardhiella subulata but hard to tell from that pic.
Should be fine with the Mars, try and keep it around 10k colour temperature, for flow you will want minimalist as you have seahorses and they really happy on low flow. Try and incorporate a refugium were you can grow an invasive species of macro and create a safe place for pods. The dragonface and the seahorses will hunt all day and you soon will run out of them. If you want seahorses and the dragon face you will have to change your mind about the anemone as it will sting and kill them. I would also look at adding a Molly or two to keep the tank free from gha. Hope it helps. I wouldn’t bother with a skimmer but probably look at a oxidator to keep oxygen levels up and Cristal clear water. A good source of phytoplankton would be a bonus on this tank to.
Sounds about right. Skimmer first keeps the crud outta the macro. At least that's the idea, I haven't run a skimmer in years.Awesome info- can something like this be set up as a 40g refugium section on a 125g sump? So- water will be skimmed for the main display, but I can put minimal flow through this section. I have skimmer in left, return section in middle and fuge in right, fed from a t in the return line.
Thanks

If your idea is to have seahorse in the sump? I don’t see why it wouldn’t work. I’ve done similar in the past and they Donne well the space was smaller to.
A small clip how it used to look

Awesome thanks.
I have a 40g chaeto fuge section in my 125 sump- thinking of going with an algae reactor instead and making it a ‘display’ (for me, since it’s in my fishroom) macro fuge.
That red algae looks awesome- dragons breath?
Not seahorses necessarily- more the macro. Wasn’t sure if the more exotic species needed unskimmed for the increased nutrients.
Thanks for the info.
I think I’m going to set something like this up after vacation. Looks very awesome
Pink lace
Can you tell me where to buy this one please?

This is what I want to do. I wish to have a main display upstairs that drains into a secondary display / sump / refugium in the basement. Does anyone have any pics of such a secondary display? It would be probably a normal "sump" type setup, with skimmer, baffles, return pump, etc, but on a large scale, like a 150 or 180 non-drilled. I am curious how to make a typical sump into a display.
In your display? That’s awesome!
Some Dragonsbreath in my display
I split that piece up a bit so I don’t have. A large clump anymore but here are some other pics of it in my displayIn your display? That’s awesome!
Got a wider shot so we can see the context?
Thanks!
