JamesHL88 Posted September 8, 2012 Author Share Posted September 8, 2012 Stopped by Northside Aquatics in little rock today. Awsome business! I brought home three reef chromis and they gave me a clump of a yet to be identified red macro algae. Pictures to come. Link to comment

metrokat Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 This is the red macro that i need an ID for. Geledium. Get rid of it or put it in the sump. Link to comment
albertthiel Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Geledium. Get rid of it or put it in the sump. Mexican Turbo Snails are know to eat Gelidium according to several posts on RC. Also, it is the major source of Agar which is used in many applications: labs and also in foods ! FWIW Link to comment
JamesHL88 Posted September 9, 2012 Author Share Posted September 9, 2012 Whats bad about it ?Is it invasive, because Im kind of wanting macros to take over the display. Link to comment
albertthiel Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Whats bad about it ?Is it invasive, because Im kind of wanting macros to take over the display. Yes it is invasive and spreads, not sure if this is the type you want in your tank. Read up on it some more and then decide what you want to do. A Google search with " gelidium algae " will bring up a lot of links you can follow and read including some from a number of different forums Link to comment

albertthiel Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Thanx guys XD You are welcome and happy reef keeping ! Link to comment
JamesHL88 Posted September 11, 2012 Author Share Posted September 11, 2012 So one of my chromis decided to see whats up with that u tube overflow thing while i was at work today lol. Got home and found him swimming around in the filter sock. All is well though he is back in the display and doesnt seem harmed in the slightest. Funny critters and crazy contraptions make for a surprising hobby. Link to comment
JamesHL88 Posted September 11, 2012 Author Share Posted September 11, 2012 I couldnt decide if i wanted to keep the gelidium algae in the display or not. But the turbos decided for me Link to comment
JamesHL88 Posted September 19, 2012 Author Share Posted September 19, 2012 Just ordered a 21 watt Exotic par38 Led 20000k reef lamp trying to get some color out of these weak ass sps im so noob. I also ordered a cheap media reactor but it was in an order i canceled. I will get it later. Super excited XD gonna have me a sweet LED spotlight! Link to comment
metrokat Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 I couldnt decide if i wanted to keep the gelidium algae in the display or not. But the turbos decided for me aww. that macros is not a good one for the display honestly. it's rubbery, with small leaves making removal nearly impossible. If you want macros to take over the display, you could look into Blue Ochtodes, Halimeda, Red Grape, Codium, Red Titan. Link to comment
JamesHL88 Posted September 19, 2012 Author Share Posted September 19, 2012 Thanks kat. Ill definately look into those. Since i dont have my tang anymore im really considering taking this tank in a planted direction. But then again my reef just kind of develops how it wants without paying much attention to my plans.
