SW plants for FO tank

[jmccown]

I am getting a slight bloom of green algae in my 90g FO tank. I am accustomed to plants in freshwater and know they work wonders for algae growth. Is there any type of saltwater plants that I could add to my tank to reduce algae growth. I don't really have room for a refugium with this tank, so whatever plant life I add will have to go in the display. I have a Pro Clear 200 model but there is no room for anything there, it is full of pumps, heaters and skimmer equipment. Any ideas/recommendations?

Halmedia, Shaving bush, ect. Might be ok. I think most fish do not eat calcifying algaes.

Yep. Phil, The halimeda (sp?) you sold us has not been eaten like all other plants put into my step-dad's 60 gallon FOWLR. It is probably because they do not taste good, and usually they do not look appetizing...we'll have to call Jason to make sure that the nitrate levels are ok inside the plants. We'll make you a nice macro salad Jason! French, or Italian dressing?

Brock, did you get a chance to go to Lester Raines and see his tanks? I hope you did. Did you find a home for your shark?

Where could I get halimeda?

I have tons of it and know how to ship it.

No, I didn't. Today was the first day of school, so we wanted to gurry ackto get everything ready Sunday evening. We got back at around 8:00 PM. I found someone more local that is setting up a 400 gallon shark lagoon.
