algaes for fuge

[tgriffin]

Aside from Chaeto, who puts other algaes in their fuge and why? Does it help more than Chaeto?

Thanks

I've got <u>Chaeto</u> and<u> Red Gracilaria</u> or tang heaven for both nutrient export and food for my tang. I believe these live macros have much more nutritional benefits than nori and things a like.

I actually took the chaeto out of mine to try to grow more algae in the main tank. My yellow tang eats anything as soon as it grows (especially green hair algae).

I don't use chaeto. There area few mangroves down there though

Caulerpa. Fast growing, healthy, easy and you can even make a few bucks per ziplock off of it when you thin it out.

I use both Chaeto and Caulerpa. Prefer Caulerpa though, as it grows like a weed for me.
