I am looking to buy some macro-algae for my seahorse tank but I want to make sure the algae will be okay.

Tank specs:
  • 65 gallon (36 x 18 x 24)
  • Temp: 70-72 deg (+/- 2.0)
  • Light: 234 watts -- Current Nova Extreme Pro (6 x 39 watt T5 bulbs (3 10k, 3 actinic))
  • Sandbed: 3" aragonite sand
Can you give me a list of macro algaes that you carry that will do okay givin the above specs?

Thanks!
