Some Macroalgae Pics

Some Macrofrags that I picked up from Reef Cleaners (3 Reef Sponsor and AMAZING vendor). They've been in my tank/refuge/quarantine for about 2 weeks and all have new growth, some have doubled in size. I've heard horror stories about Chaeto turning brown and looking crappy or not growing unless it's being tossed by a tumbleweed. Not so with this Chaeto. I bought two tennis ball sized frags and put both in my refugium which barely has any flow. The one that was closest to the light trippled in size and I had to move it to the q/t to give the other frag room to grow and more light (and to give the Court Jester that's in quarantine plenty of pods to eat.

Nice pics

 

I likey the Fire fern. Nice!

 

Thanks actually a frag of the one I bought! The Gramma bit a chunk of the original off so I put it in the quarantine. It's growing well in there though. It's so pretty and red. I have compact flourescent lighting, so I put plants around the bottom in places where I wouldn't put corals. Adds some color and life to the bottom line of the tank (and consumes phosphates and nitrates, keeping my water quality better).
