My wife's seahorse tank is as close as I have to an algae tank.....

I don't have any pictures to share to help you out, but I would definitely recommend dragon's breath and string of pearls. Both are so beautiful!

Thanks for sharing @Waters! A Sea horse tank- awesome!

Agree! String of pearls are nice but I have not seen anything for sale online or lfs

Mine aren't too far off how I got them on Live Rock, and mowed a little by my hermits, so nothing impressive. Yet

I want to grow all of these into luscious macro bushes and the like someday. So I'll tag along for the ride in this thread.

Oh and here's my sump as of a few weeks ago

I'm back in my home town, and we have some of the better beaches in all of Aus, so I went for a swim, and there were so many types and so much everywhere. So before I fly home, I'll try and get some bits of all sorts and show them to you all!

Cool! I will wait for them. Thanks!

Nice set-up! I just started a mini fuge on my Nuvo 40. Not much space in the chamber but worth a try.

Here was the refuge tank on the system I was running before I moved. I had several varieties of macro algae in the tank. I can't wait to start my new tank with a display refuge tank full of macro algae.
