Looking for some macros

[Grendel0501]

What macroalgaes does eveyone have?
I just got my new tank up and running, I left a large portion of my sump open for macros and I'm looking around for local options of what I can get.

My main purpose is nutrient export, but being able to be fed to fish is a nice extra. I know I want some cheato and caulerpa prolifera (had those before in my 45g) but I have enough space that I can fit acouple more besides those. I don't like the the calcerous (sp?) algaes, bc they take calcium from the water.

So whats everyone using? and can I have some?!?! :ape:

i used to run chaeto, but it never prospered as my trate and phos is low already. or jsut didnt like my system. I pulled it cause it junked up my sump. I just run rubble in the sump for pods and hermits now.

gracillera (sp?) is a popular choice. decorative too. so somer keep it in the display too. Mangroves also seem to do well, and have a "cleaner look" than chaeto which gets messy if its not healthy and starts to strip/tear apart.

ive ordered from reefcleaners before. Got tons of freebie snails, and extra macros (when i used them)

I have chaeto and some others. but only chaeto is growing fast in my tank. others are not growing well.

I'm hoping I can support some of the high light macros, I have a Kessil A150 Amazon Sun over my macro area, it grows chaeto like a beast.
