fast growing plant??

[brackish10]

Is there a fast growing plant i can put in my dt for my coral beauty and yellow tang to munch on?

No not really the tang will eat it faster then anything grows.
You can grow it in a fug and then harvest for feeding.

Don't suppose they eat cheato huh?

I don't think anything eats chaeto.. I could be wrong..

My orange shoulder and hippo eat chaeto. But even chaeto doesn't grow fast enough. Maybe in a big clump, but you'll need a huge tank to put a big clump in the display and it not look bad lol. Fuge is what a lot of people do. My lights are high above my tank and I actually grow macro in my overflow boxes. So maybe there's an idea

You laugh Pedro but ever since I set up my frag tank every rock or shell I put in there grows hair algae, once it gets good and fuzzy I move it to the 180 and the fish pick it clean. Weird cause algae doesn't grow on anything in the 180 and they share the same sump. Probably time to replace the light over the frag tank I guess.

How long has the frag tank been setup? If added to same exciting setup algae issues start just like new setup in the frag tank even though they share a sump. I have done this 4 times and every time it dose that

Oh man lol my memory is crap. I think it was set up sometime after Christmas but probably at least 3 months ago.

How big is that frag tank Stan? Cuz you have a MH fixture mounted less then a foot above the frag tank. I'm thinking it's just getting way to much light. You should try hanging them somehow.

Lol you have seen it. Probably only 20 gallons or so and it's a 150 watt halide so maybe that is the issue. Sounds like another project.

I have a hob fuge with 24hr lighting. I harvest about every other month when the cheat o triples in size
