How to “plant” red ogo?

[Rhb6455]

Hi everyone,

I’m a relatively new reefer, and I just bought my first macro algae to help with nutrient export. What is the best way to secure it or anchor it in the aquarium? I assume it’s not meant to just float around the tank??? I bought Red Ogo from Algae barn

Thanks!

I just bought some too. Mine is floating around ‍. I loved the quality, very pleased with algae barn.

Use a rubber band and attach to a small piece of live rock.

Red Ogo doesn't really attach to anything. As said, you can either tie it down or wedge it into a hole/crevice. I don't recommend gluing - it will just die off at the glue site.

Great question! Red Ogo doesn't naturally attach to surfaces, but you can float it in the water column, allowing it to tumble gently in the current. Alternatively, you can attach it loosely to a piece of live rock using fishing line or a rubber band. Just make sure it gets good light and flow for the best growth! Hope this helps!
