Halimeda pruning day

[Satori]

It was time to prune some halimeda from the display. Man I hate this stuff. It's impossible to get it all, and every time I trim it - no matter how carefully done - some leaves get away and it spreads to a new crevice.

BTW, that is a full size dinner plate.

Mike I think halimeda is worse than aptasia and flatworms put together. My buddy has been battling it for years. It spreads everywhere and consumes calcium.

Mike,

Nice dinner of greens you have there. Hey, is it true the Halimeda eats the calcium in the tank?

It does use calcium. I don't notice it because the calcium reactor keeps up with demand, but it could cause problems in some systems.
