Thanks!
Yes, I may be too late as well but I also have a seahorse tank with soft coral and macro algae. I have halimedia, dragons breath, red grape caulerpa, rose petal, and some varieties that I have not Identified. My tank has T5s.
Do you know what that white algae is of the left side of the tank?

If you are referring to the white in the middle left side, that is actually a clove polyp coral that is languishing, ha ha.
How do your gorgonians do? I've been thinking about picking up a couple but I don't want anything that will take any extra effort beyond what the seahorses require. I bought some expensive fake sponges and fake sps when I set the tank up and they really just look horrible. I do have a nice big grape kelp now that looks nice but the rest of the tank is pretty embarrassing.

My gorgs do fine and I don't feed them. They are all photosynthetic gorgs and I have a Coralife 4 bulb T5HO fixture so they get good light. I also I do close to 40% WCs per week so they may be getting stuff from the salt mix. I use Reef Crystals.
I'll give one a try. I do about the same for water changes. My lights are not nearly as strong though. I only have PCs on my seahorse tank.
