Run away macro algae

I found a pic on Melevs site that looks similar to what is trying to take over my 120 display. Any way to stop this? Here is a link. Melevsreef.com - Dictyota

Re: Run away macro algae

Does anyone have experience with this algae and a Lawnmower Blenny? I have thought of replacing one I lost to a nasty Kole Tang and I would love to know it would feast on this macro algae.

Re: Run away macro algae

I've never seen it!! Wonder if a Sea Hare would eat it?

Nitrate (NO3) reduction is directly proportional to percentage of Water Change.
Allen's home-made formula...(-NO3=WC%)
This means if you change 50% of your total water volume (That's EVERYTHING) you'll get a net reduction of (NO3) somewhere around 50%.

Ask me about how to increase your REEF budget without going without FOOD!!

Re: Run away macro algae

I don't know the "Temperament" of them but no one bothers either of my sea hares! They're just big cute (ugly) slugs really! They mow through Hair Algae and once the tank is clean of that I have to feed them some other Macro Algae. That's why I said "I wonder". Worth a try I guess!!
