Hello, I want to add some macro algae to my mixed reef, but i'm a bit nervous about adding it.
Could you guys suggest some species and some general care and what to look for? I was looking at http://www.live-plants.com/ and i was thinking about getting a red sampler pack, C.Prolifera, enteromorpha SP, and Halimeda Sampler.
some info:
75g mixed reef, 5 bulb T5 and 14 cree LED, skimmer, moderate to low flow (depends on area). 3-4in sand bed.
Had the tank for 6 years, but it crashed, (back when stealth heaters were going bad), and haven't had much in it since. Very very slowly adding corals back to the tank and it is basically stable and pretty well established. I have a wide range of hermit crabs and snails. I have a really old yellow watchman and a coral beauty angelfish, zoanthids, gsp, xenia, mushrooms, basically mostly softies and hardy things. I stay on my college campus and the tank is at my home, so i do maintenance on weekends, so this is why i dont keep very difficult or picky species. Are macroalgaes difficult or picky, and do you think they would do fine in my tank.
Thank you for any help
