Planted salt-water tank?

I have a 20 gal. tank with some live sand and rock, 2 cinnamon clowns, one bi-color blenny, various small snails and crabs, and a small E. quadricolor anemone. I also have a few spriggs of caleurpa and would like to add to that with other kinds of hearty macroalgae to achieve a densely planted tank. Does anybody have suggestions on the advisability of doing this, the availability of macroalgae, and good sources for interesting varieties.

Hi Trudi, I still have some nice eelgrass rocks from your tank, but AFAIC witht the algaes, you will need more light to keep other soerts and a nitrate and higher nutrient load to support them.

Sargassum is readily obtainable, as well as mangroves soon.

inlandaquatics.com has a huge selection of macros.

 

If you want a densley populated tank, take some of my caulerpa and wait a week. You should have a box of algae. I am yanking a 1/2 a cup every two weeks and the crap just keeps growing.
