Added Macroalgae to Lagoon Nano

[amccann]

I decided I wanted to turn my display into a Macroalgae paradise, along with my LPS, Rock Flower Anemones, Ricordeas and Leathers I already had. Ordered and received two large portions of Portleria Macroalgae from Live-Plants.com. It's absolutely beautiful, especially under my Radion lighting, glows a nice orange and red at night. I secured it down to a couple live rock pieces, already taken hold of it in a matter of days. Order a few Florida Ricordeas as well, received 2 Blue, 1 Blue/Green and a Yellow. Here's some pics of the Macroalgae.

Just an update for any interested. I ended up removing most on the Portleria Macroalgae I put in. It traps too much detritus and food, also ends up with pieces floating here and there, gets stuck in my vortech, etc. Just turned into more of a pain than it was worth. I still have a clump of it, although half the size because I trimmed it way back. This is probably my second or third attempt at adding "decorative Macroalgae" to my display. Never seems to go how I like it. Anyone else here have success with this ever?
