Hi!
My fuge for close to 8 months has razor caulerpa & basically grew rampant in the fuge even though I trimmed every 2- weeks. Some figi rock I purchased from an lfs had macroalgae on them but under metal halides the macroalgae (sargassum) exploded in the tank to the point that it looked like a kelp forest. I noticed the caulerpa receeding a little bit but now it is almost gone except for a small patch. Could the sargassum eat all of the nutrients because it was in the main tank thus starving the caulerpa?
thanks,
Dan
