Macro Algae

Then I can tell people I have mangrove growing in my living room! Haha. I'll check out that website. Thanks a lot!

 

haha no problem..reefcleaners is great for all kinds of stuff..if you ever need to makeover your clean up crew that's the place to go..you usually end up getting a lot more than what you order!

 

I'm checking out the website right now and it's awesome!! I think I'll end up spending some more money! :-/ I want to get some stuff right now, but I'm going on vacation in a week, so I'll have to wait until after. But oohh man, I'm finding some good stuff!

 

I'm a huge fan of Macro Algae. Right now I've got four kinds:

Maiden's Hair


Halimeda


Shaving Brush


And some Red Kelp


I had horrible stuff, these guys helped a ton (As well as limiting feeding to once every three days until it was gone. Now I feed once every other day)

Check out Liveaquaria. Their prices can be a bit high, but a good resource (or place to get stuff you can't find elsewhere). I will second reefcleaners - great stuff, good prices!

 

I looooove the red algae. Gorgeous color!! So you find the macro algae really helped with the annoying algae? I'll check out liveaquaria too.

Thanks!!

 

Since I've put macro in the main tank, other than the light dusting in the tank itself, I've had zero hair or cyno. Granted I also cut down on food (once every three days) and added more snails . My goby helps too.

It is the same thing as a refugium - people put fast growing algae in there to take the nutrients out of the water so the display tank looks pretty

Good luck!
