batchelor Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 does anyone out there have any halimeda algae in there tanks. it grows like a weed in mine and i'm not sure if i like it or not. everything i read about it says it's a good thing, but it's starting to become a pain.

siskiou Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Keep weeding! I have it growing in my 60G cube, and it's great for nitrate reduction (uses up some calcium, though), and I take out a small bucket full every couple of months. Looks kinda nice, but can take over in time, if you don't stay on top of it. Haven't found anything that eats it, so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReeFit Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 yea that stuff is really only good in a refugium or sump, it will take over a tank and smother corals and its hard to get out of rocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
