DRBOB Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 I have been trying to figure out by reading the other posts if I should try to root my caulerpa in the sand, or try to attach it to live rock, or just let it float in my refugium. What do you do? thanks Link to comment
reefjunky Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 I just pushed my caulerpa in and it is kind of wrapping around the fuge.its getting good light and growning fast. Link to comment
tinyreef Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 brace the macro against a rock. it should quickly attach and spread. what type of caulerpa? some types grow easier thru sand (taxifolia) while others root into the rock (grape) easily. prolifera needs some current ime but grows slightly better on rock than substrate ime (could've been light availability too). hth Link to comment
DRBOB Posted March 2, 2004 Author Share Posted March 2, 2004 Great that is very helpful. I believe I have both Taxifolia, and Prolifera. No rock in the refugium, yet, will add some. thanks Link to comment
Nano-Nut Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 I have had grape caulerpa along with another viney kind of macro algae and neither have made it. I set LR down on the caulerpa to kinda hole it down and give it a choice of sand or rock to attach to. It got light from my 175watt MH 10K during the day and a 15 watt aquarium light at night. I just gave up. It grew in the main tank where I didn't want it and want live in the refugium. Link to comment
