macro algae

I recently started a Macro Algae tank that has 2 mangroves in it, of course they cam from Algae Barn! Anyway, The tank has been running for a few month and I was wondering if anybody has had huge amounts of growth or very slow growth with mangroves?? When I got mine they had small roots on...

Hi! So after many years of wanting to set up a reef tank I am finally starting on my salty journey. I have kept FW for the last five years, the last two and a half was a 29 gallon planted tank that was rock solid. I sold it so now I can set up my 32.5 gallon Fluval Flex. My plan is to use...

Attached Chaetomorpha antennina is the first image on Wikipedia's Chaetomorpha page How many of you all have come across attached Chaetomorpha, in captivity? When I was figuring out macroalgae with my first build years ago, I discovered that Chaetomorpha is capable of attaching itself to rocks...

Time for a new build! The plan is to do a Mangrove/Macroalgae tank time with the possibility of adding some mushrooms and/or other softies in the future. The tank and cabinet get delivered today. Planned Hardware: Lighting: Hydra 32 Freshwater Pump: Sicce 1.0 Wavemaker: Nero 3 I'm drawing...

I'm starting this build thread a little early. I am moving apartments in late March and am using that opportunity to transfer my Waterbox Peninsula Mini 25 contents to the new lagoon layout. It fit's my desired look far better, allowing for mangroves and more horizontal space for macro algaes...

For those of you that have the Drop in AIO kit. What did you do to stop your macro algae from going throught your baffles and didn’t impeded your water flow?

I’m moving apartments in late March. I’m considering using the opportunity to attempt converting my tank to a macro algae mixed reef tank with mangroves. looking at either a 20 or 30 gallon tank at 2ft wide. Anyone have experience with these kinds of tanks? And if you do, do you have any...

So i did a recent upgrade from a 32biocube to a 40 Breeder. The old light I had for my refugium just isn’t going to cut it/turning the whole dinning room pink. So was looking into new lights to help contain the light. Was seeing if anyone had success with the biocube light as I can easily attach...

Interested if anybody knows what type of algae this is? It hitched a ride on live rock when my tank was set up and it started to grow on a few rocks. I like the look I just don’t want to get out of control.

Hi all, I'm at just about my limit with trying to grow chaeto. My nutrients are usually around 30-40 ppm nitrate and .03 -.06 phophsate. I've got plenty of flow through the sump. I've used a kessil h380 and recently bought an A360x thinking the h380 might have just been too intense. It's hung...

Hey all, just wanted to post my week old setup. Its a 60P sized tank with a pretty simple scape. I really wanted to do something a bit different instead of the mess of colors that reef tanks are known for. I’m basing the design off of a specific area in the game Subnautica. Hopefully i do it...

Just wanting some beneficial color in my tank

I am located in SoCal. Looking for < Blue Ochtodes, Halymenia Dilatata, Galaxaura, and Chondria > My collection that I'm trading with consists of: Hypnea Pannosa Halymenia Durvillei Gracilaria Tikvahiae Gracilaria Cervicornis Gracilaria Parvispora Bryothamnion Bortryocladia Codium Sargassum...

https://vm.tiktok.com/ZM8xXRwGU/ The video clip above is the most recent shot of the 40 breeder that I just cycled and I’m now adding live stock. I will be getting a decent amount of corals in a little less than a week! Can’t wait!! A lot of diy work went into this setup I had some ai primes...

Please share your experience and photos if you have them! I am loving this look and concept. Already ordered some red grape caulerpa I am planning on just keeping a simple soft coral tank so they should benefit from this environment, right? Thanks!

After finally deciding to shut down my rejected TMC signature due to a move, I felt it was finally time to downgrade. I’ve moved all surviving inhabitants from my old system to my new one and am using as little equipment as possible, mainly made up of random things I’ve collected over the years...

In all seriousness, is is it safe to harvest and eat macroalgae from my own aquarium, specifically members of the Ulva genus (and possibly Caulerpa lentillifera in the future)? Is there something they would contain after having grown in my aquarium that would make them inedible or would a...

Hey everyone, Im a bit new still to reef keeping and I had a query about my ulva macro algae. I have a 18 gallon tank with a torch coral and a few snails - no fish, as my two clowns died in my hospital tank a few days ago :( due to ammonia spike. My issue with macro algae is that is seems...

Hi, When I set up my tank, I purchased premium uncured live rock. I did a great job curing it without killing much of the amazing small corals, multiple kinds of macro Algae (some I have never seen before like red moss). Anyway, I added a ball of chaeto directly into the tank but with the...

We have all heard about strenuous, frustrating battles against the Sea fern (Bryopsis sp.) and Bubble algae (Valonia sp.), but can they be viewed in a positive light? I have heard, on a few occasions, that Bryopsis and Valonia are excellent additions to planted marine aquariums for their...

This loaf is about to set out on an adventure... I guess it's time for me to begin my first build thread. After suffering way too long with my previous (first) build (a temperate system with freshwater rocks and sand as well as a HOB filter that never left the diatom phase), I decided to...

Hello I have a bunch of cheato available. It’s clean and I seed it with pods from reef nutrition every couple months. Asking 25$ shipped priority express mail for a quart size freezer bag stuffed. Multi bags I’ll discount. I’ve been growing it for about a year on this current set up. Feel free...
