I am currently cycling my 55 gallon tank which has 30lbs of live sand and 40lbs of dry rock. This tank is going to be a macro algae display tank with some fish in the system. I was wondering if anyone may have any ideas on the stocking of a macro algae tank? I know that I am not able to have...

I recently returned from a trip to Belize:dance:. I did a lot of fishing in the back bays, and I was amazed by the community's of fish established just within the mangroves and the variety of macroalgae that were growing. I would like to try to integrate this into my current 75g. I do not have...

Who when we talk about mixed tank have macro-algae with their coral. Is it more difficult or easier to maintain. I'm thinking of the ideal because i'll have tangs and they used to eat the macro's i use to give them from my refugium. So i see it as a pro what would be the cons.

I decided that I wan to convert my FOWLR tank to a macro algae display tank. In the future I may want to try my hand at seahorses or pipe fish, but for now I just want to know the best way to start the conversion. The tank is 75 gallons and has been up and running for a few years. I'm...

Hi everyone, I'm looking at getting some advice on setting up a refugium tank for my 55Gal saltwater tank. I have an old 24Gal tank that I will be reusing as a sump/refugium for the main display tank. I been researching algae scrubbers and I was thinking of building one for the 24Gal tank...

Reading some olds posts and been debating if i should set up my display refugium or not. Posted in the think tank but hasn't gotten anything and i am kinda sitting here with a tank in my room. So i have a 60 cube been up and running for a while currently have a lot of lps and softie corals. I...

Hello All... I ordered some Maiden's Hair macro algae from Liveaquaria. I bought it because I love the way it looks and I need some green in my tank (I will try to post pictures here, I know TRT was having trouble with that...) I am curious to see if anyone has comments. I want to put it in...

I just bought a 29 gallon from Petco during the dollar per gallon sale and i plan on setting up a display refugium. First step is drilling the tank. I do not have the tools so i figured paying someone to take care of it. Unless i get lucky and someone in the st. louis area is willing to help...

I bought some macro alage the other day (Chaeto and dragons breathe) and it is now dead. I figured it would live in my tank. I have 2 coral life 50/50 bulbs for a total of 20Watts. I thought that would of been good enough for the macro alage to survive. All specs are good, amoniia, nitrite...

Hello everybody, I need some opinions here. I am planning on adding a 55 gallon tank to my current 110 gallon display as a display refugium. What i need help with is deciding whether to add the 55 straight to my existing system and add macroalgae as i go or if i should run the 55 independently...

Hey Everyone, Over the past 6-8 months I have been working changing the theme of my aquarium. What used to be a reef has been dismantled and started over as a seahorse tank. What started as a simple concept has really evolved into an obsession. I have become extremely interested in macro algae...

Hello Everyone, Got to clear out some room in my planted seahorse tank.. Looking to sell off some fresh trimmings of the following macros -Red Bush (3in Cluster) -Blue Scroll (Half Dollar) -Red Portieria (3in Cluster) -Cotton Candy (3in Cluster) -Red Grape (4in Cluster) -Halimeda (3in Cluster)...

I will keep it simple ... From your experience, do you feel the need to put beneficial Macro Algae onto a sump? Having a Macro algae, means it needs probably a LR, which in turn, convert it to a fuge. Do you see the benefit of having a fuge compared to a sump? I could see few legends here...

Looking to buy macro algae other than chaeto. Within good reasonable price range.

Yesterday I picked up a few new corals. Can you just confirm that this is a lobo? That's what it was labeled but it doesn't quite look like what I've found on lobos. And can anyone ID this? I think it is some sort of macro algae. It is a little redder than the picture shows. Possibly red...

I'll be setting up a unplumbed shallow cube (20x20x12) this Friday. The plan for this system will be mostly LPS and a very low fish load of just 1 or 2 smaller sized fish. The tank will also have a large variety of macro algae such as HALIMEDA, CYMOPOLIA, GRACILARIA, EUCHEUMA, BOTRYOCLADIA, and...
