I know macro algae is mainly for nutrient export, which unfortunalty I am trying to raise levels not decrease them due to my battle with dinoflagellates. I am trying to increase my biodiversity. Would this small amount do much or could i have other uses for it. I would hate to get rid of it, never had macro algae before.

When i ordered my pods and phytoplankton i entered the promo code "mystery". Since i always search these before an online purchase this promo code looked like more fun than only 10% off lol. Oh and I ordered it from algae barn!

Algae barn replied above they said it is mocha (brown) ogo

Ok I guess you replied.
Ok what is that? I never heard of it.
This sounds like something you are not sure what it is so you gave a common name too.
Is it a type of gracilaria? That is what it looks like to me.
Yes it is a gracilaria species. We don't have a ton of information on it yet, but we are going to be doing some tang feeding trials with it soon.
It's a decent grower, but nothing crazy. Are you putting it in a sump or the display tank? Can you tell me a little more about the setup?
Use coupon code Mystery (the order needs to be $60 or above). If the code doesnt work, put in the comments to add a golfball of mocha ogo and it was approved by Sean.
Hahah, I understand. We are running a 15% off the 5280 pods (15PODS is the code). If the system gives you a conflict, just use 15PODS and write in the comments that you also want the mocha ogo.

Well i have a red sea max e 260. Its a all in one tank I don't have the sump upgrade. I am still new to reef keeping so I don't have a refugium or any macroalage in the tank as of now. My goal is to increase biodiversity to combat dinoflagellates. I guess I will place it in the display tank until make a little homemade refugium for the back of the tank or buy a under cabinet sump.
