    I've been using an 18 watt normal output light on my refugium 24/7 and so far so good. No asexual activity so far and I have three different macro algaes.

    What do you mean by asexual activity? We are starting a starting a refugium for our 180g. We threw a couple of different types of calurpa in it. Should we reconsider what kind of calurpa?
