    Its not invasive. I always have a pretty big clump of it. Its common on Carribean live rock. If I can find the name I will post it for ya. My advise is to try not moving it from where it is. Your tank looks great my friend.8)

    I emailed Reefcleaners.org about the macro algae. John wasn't sure on an exact ID, but he had some good advice on what would eat it and whether or not it would be invasive. He was very helpful :).

    Will do. It seems to really like the flow it's getting. There is another clump getting less flow and it's not growing as good.

    Thank you!

    Yeah that vid gives a whole new perspective. Awesome start so far. The LR is top grade even with a bad hitchhiker here and there. Really nice!

    Thank you! I'm pleased with the LR despite the negatives. The biodiversity is really starting to show.

    You are exactly right. I had it growing on my outlet for a long time. It became a huge ball then one day it just fell off.Wouldn't grow any where else. Its definitely cool though.

    Went to the LFS to get a Magnesium test kit. Ended getting a Koralia 750 too :). Now there is about 40 x turnover.

    The tank seems healthy overall. It may be time for some fish :). Here are some pics.
