Algae for my new refugium

Mr_Banana_Pants · Mar 26, 2017

Hey everyone, I have new frag tank I set up (2 months old) and everything looks and is growing phenomenal. I was looking to add a separate 20 gal long refugium to create a total volume of 80 gallons, or even a 30 gallon with a dsb... however I hate the look of the cheto and other green macro. So I was thinking dragon's breath, basically making another display out of it. Does anyone around use dragon's breath and if so how well does it work? Also would anyone be willing to sell me some?

@CFC_Surge Has Red,Blue, and green macro. He may be able to answer your questions. @revhtree may know someone else who can help.

@ReefWeeds do you have any or can point him to who does in our club??

look on ebay.. seach for it. I see a few red and blue on there. I am not familiar with this but does it do the something that chaeto does? Dragon Breath seaweed does look cleaner.

I'm out of dragon's breath at the moment but let me see if I can find out if anyone else has some.

Wow , your not close at all .

If you come out this way your more than welcome to some but it's probably not worth the trip for just algae .

^pretty cool.

I use a combination of greens and reds for my nutrient export.
Red bubble Kelp, red fern, red lace, ojo, and Chaeto.

Really new here, but isn't the Cheato effective at sequestration because if its rapid growth? I didn't think Dragons breath has the same rates, correct?
