Looking to start to grow some macro algae but don't know the first thing about it. Where can I get it and how do I "Plant" it and maintain it. I would like to supplement feed it to my tang and also like how it looks in the tank. Thanks
 
The best way to start it is in a refugium.
Which is, genreally, a smaller tank located under your main tank in the stand. Connected to your main tank via an overflow box and return pump and tubing.
 
how easy is it to change a sump into a refuge? I know I need sand and a light what do you recommend?
Thanks
 
I'd put a layer of fine sand or mud type substrate on the bottom and rig a light over the top. If your into DIY wiring etc., than some of the outdoor light fixtures based on PC's that can be found in Home Depot work well.
