    just wondering if caulerpa would be affective with:

    radiata lionfish

    snowflake eel

    huma huma trigger

    to keep water params in line. it will be with a skimmer eventually and Ro water from the store (parents dont think an RO maker is something i shuld get) not to mention live rock and sand.

    should this be effective? it will be in the DT under regular lights. will it hurt any of the fish? just wondering if its really worth it. i think it is but just need some input.

    It will over run the tank in short order, messy inhabitants will provide continuous nutrients and away we go! :)

    i can live with caulerpa in the tank, as long as the fish arent hurt and it will help.

    barring any environmental tragedies caused by the caulerpa going asexual I see no harm.
