    Hi
    Had my LR in the tank now for 3 weeks, 1 or 2 pieces are starting to have growth on them green stalks & what looks like grass-not hair algae, is this normal and if it is i presume all i do is cut it back when it gets bad???

    Macro Algae is this like a bigger kind of algae then just normal green or hair algae?

    it is a bit curly cue in some places, is this what you fellas grow in your refugiums to take out phosphates etc etc????
