Macroalgae

[jer77]

Has anyone else grown shaving brushes, or halimeda? I have just gotten some or each so I'd like to see some other pics of some when its growning.

Also some questions about caulerpa. Does it impede on the growth of other algaes like chaetomorpha, or even of corals?

Also does anyone have an EG environmental gradient refugium? Like one with sponges, oysters, tunicates, featherdusters?

I had halimeda but it sucked out all of the calcium from my tank so I had to get rid of that.

I have had both. Never been able to keep shaving brush alive not sure why. I only tried it very early when i was starting in the hobby. As for halmedia I have plenty. Enough I could give a bunch away, grows like a weed but easy to control. Like stated above, it can use a lot of ca.
