Considering Macroalgae: Green Finger, Shaving Brush, Mermaid's Fan?

[Lylelovett]

Hi all,

So I thought it might be cool to add some macroalgae to my DT: green finger, shaving brush, or mermaid's fan... I have a 150g mixed reef tank. about 6mos old. This is my first reef tank.

Looking at liveaquaria.com, those are the three I'm interested in...

Thoughts/recommendations?

Thanks in advance!

Honestly having tried a mixed reef with display macros, you probably will go back to having none. Just not as pretty later on and can look pretty out of place
That being said, I'd suggest red alage such as dragons breath or red grape alage or gracilaria.

Honestly I'd just go with a display refugium

That's what I was wondering - how long until it doesn't look as neat and tidy as it does in the picture.
