Hello All!

I just wanted to show off my new macroalgae display tank. This is a 5.5 Gallon aquarium with a 2” sandbed, piece of live rock which was in my sump from my 4 year old display and a led strip light. I have this tank plumbed to my main display.

The tank is only 1 day old but I will post progress pics here soon. I ordered my macroalgae from Reef Cleaners. Amazing stuff and great price. I love the look of macroalgae but would never put it in my display tank, so I decided to make this.

The types of macroalgae I have in this tank are: Caulerpa Mexicana, Caulerpa Prolifera, Flat Branch Gracilaria, Grape Caulerpa, Palm Caulerpa, Pencil Cap and Shaving Brush. I will keep close eye on this every day making sure that none of the Caulerpa goes “sexual”.

Please excuse the messiness, I still have to do some finishing touches.
