    Red, Brown, or Green algae? That is the question.

    Making an order online and curious to know which algae is better.

    Look for Algae salads, where they mix many kinds, I think two little fishies has some mixes. The more variety you have they better.

    Do they sell that in sheet form like the Seaweed Selects...Green Marine Algae?
    Or can it grow in a tank with regular lights?
    I am not too sure about this topic and what is recommened.

    Chaetomorpha is also one I recommend highly.

    You can grow the Gracilaria in average lighting, but like everyting else, it'll grow quicker with a bit more light. The chaeto that Craig just recommended is for refugiums, I don't know of any fish that really feed on it. Gracilaria on the other hand is consumed by many hebivours. If you want to grow it, follow the links I provided.
