Any Macro Suggestions?

[JCOLE]

My fuge is growing out my Macro and Mangroves great!! I have to reduce my Macro to a baseball size every month. Usually pull out 3 gallons worth of Chaeto each month. What I am thinking of doing is adding another refugium for various types of macro algae. I really dont want to use any chemical, gfo, phosguard, etc to remove nutrients. I would like to keep doing this naturally if possible.

What macro do you recommend besides Chaeto.l?

Couple that I like and kept:

• BOTRYOCLADIA SP.
• Dragons Breath
• GRACILARIA HAYI

I use various caulerpas; racemosa, prolifera, mexicana, and sertulariodes.

Are they any I should stay away from? Such as the ones that could go Asexual?

You can control when and if that happens. Here is some info on the topic.

For the most part, macroalgae is simple to care for and is a great way to add color and diversity to your tank.

Dragons breath is by far my favorite, I also keep dragons tongue.
