What macro algae do you grow in your refugium?
What macro algae do you grow in your refugium?
Currently I have come chaeto, grape caulerpa, and a few mangrove stalks. I got the grape caulerpa recently from a local reefer with hopes of growing it as food for the tang. So far it hasn't started eating it yet. |
i've been thinking about setting up a refugium what is the best algae
|
IMHO I think that cheatomorpha is the best. It grows fast, does a good job at consuming nitrates, and won't go sexual like caulerpa will.
|
Anyone keeping any Sea Lettuce(ulva)?

ulva? never heard of it. got a pic? |
I have tried ulva, but it just doesn't seem to grow.......doesn't die, but doesn't grow....
here is a pic I like Cheato.... grows great and doesn't go sexual.....plus it makes a great place for small feather dusters to start to grow..... |
I actually just got some ulva in the mail today. Will post some pics shortly.
