macro algae

Which one is more beneficial for a 310g tank with 6-8 large tangs and other reef safe fish+coral Noticed when I added an 8" Unicorn tang my nitrates went from 5 to 25 within 3 days. Currently only using a small amount of biopellets and tank has been running for 4.5 months. If macro algae is...

introduction (10/28/23): hey everyone :grinning-face-with-big-eyes: I wanted to share my progress on transferring my current 29g macroalgae tank to a newly empty 40 gallon breeder. I'm excited to do this because I feel like I will be able to keep so many more macros in the 40 than in the 29. The...

Picked up this hammer frag today. There is pink growths growing off side of hammer skeleton. At first thought maybe aptasia but I don’t see any tentacles or movement from them. Thought maybe some type of pink/red macro algae. Other possibility is branching coraline. This wld be best outcome...

Hi y’all, I have a A80 Tuna Blue sitting around and I’m looking into using it for macroalgae. I don’t think there should be an issue if I pump the whites all the way up, considering it’s going on a 7 gallon. Anyone have experience using this light for macroalgae? Thanks!

I've received so many different types of recommendations for algae sources! So, I wanted to put it to a poll to see what the community generally prefers when stocking their aquariums :)

Hi reef2reef! I am starting a 32 gallon seahorse tank, and I plan on adding macroalgae instead of corals for that lush, planted look. I will be adding a pair of male seahorses (I wouldn't be able to take care of any babies!) My questions are: 1) When should I add the macroalgae? Before or...

Looking to get a smaller algae reactor. I also have a pax bellum n24, Geo AR618, Reef octopus LR 150 (New), or Pacific Sun pro M all in great condition I'd be willing to put on the table for trade

Hi all, Almost a year on from when I planned to do so I finally got my macro algae tank going. It is a 65g display that I plan to do only nano fish in. Say max of about 3”. What are your favourite nano fish? The most outgoing? Favourite gobies? Any that you really didn’t enjoy keeping? I...

Good morning guys, it is a slow Monday so I decided to reach out on R2R to get some ideas on a new nano tank project I have. Here is what's going on - last month I bought a 10 gallon tank from Petco (see pic) to set up as a nursery for some baby seahorses as my male was pregnant. Well, he gave...

So I bought this macroalgae like a month ago and it doesn't look too great... But also I'm not sure. Maybe it could be sexual? Not sure. Hoping someone can tell me if I should pull it out before it wrecks my parameters. Thanks!

My Macroalgae seems like its dying, new growth has turn whitish. Has it gone sexual or something else like lack of nutrients? This tank is a cycled tank without corals yet. nitrates are around 20-40ppm and phosphates are around 0.6-1 ppm. Light is strong freshwater plant light. If so what...

I bought some red oro macroalgae from the algae barn and added it to my DT on Friday. I dipped it in freshwater when it arrived and used a rubber band and super glue to attach it to a frag before adding it to my tank. It is already turning green! Any advise for how to better care for macroalgae...
