caulerpa?

has anyone ever put caulerpa in their display tank?ive been wondering sice they get rid of phosphates and since i dont have a refugium or sump i was wondering if it was possible andif so does it sread everywhere?

 

It will spread quick and you need to harvest it alot. I have a 30g for my fuge and that stuff gets thick pretty quick. Why don't you buy a hang on tank fuge??

 

im not a big fan of having to many things hanging on the back of my tank.i just dont like it.lol i know its hard to avoid in a sw but as much as i can avoid the better.

 

I would not recomend putting it in the display tank, it will take over!
It needs to be on a reverse light cycle anyway.

 

hmm true.what about in a glass sqaure container or will it escapse out anyhow?

 

You do not want it in your display. I did it back before we had refugiums and it was a pain. It will overgrow everything in the tank.

 

That is what a HOT fuge is and you said you didn't like that? What is the difference in hanging it on the back as to setting a glass bowl in the tank...:-/

 

not hanging on the back lol.i think i have an old filter and make it into a hang on back for it.

 

does it spread by flow of water r by growth like grass?

 

I have a coule of friend that have put it in the display. They placed it behind the LR and when it became visible they would trim it. It would be something that you would need to keep a close eye on, but I've seen it done with success.
