Intro To MacroAlgae - Podcast Episode 86

[Reefbaby]

I LOVED this podcast. It was super informative and entertaining at the same time. I'm rather looking forward to digging deeper into this topic and learning more about macroalgae. What a great addition to our already "pod-castic" list!

I have Racemosa Caulpera in my sump/fuge & Chaeto in my CPR hang-on. I have low nutrients, I heard that you mentioned that you "feed" your Macro. Without hurting my fish, Stoney corals, & water chemistry, what can you feed them to grow? Nitrates are at <0.5 & phosphates are below 0.024.

I've never heard of feeding your algae intentionally, unless you're talking about a planted aquarium where the algae is allowed to grow in the display tank. Those are beautiful tanks but truly limits the fish you can keep.

unless you are noticing them dying off, i would not worry about intentionally feeding them
if you are reading any measurable level of PH4 or Nitrate, they will be fine
