looking for some in sight

my sw tank is a week old can i put Macro Algae in it or do i have to wait.
i would like to get some gracilaria Macro Algae going but i dont want to jump the gun. some one let me know.
thanks

 

As long as your salinity is correct, you can add it now

 

so i can add Macro Algae at only one week into the cycle?
oh ye do i need to have the lights on or off while it is cycling?
how does gracilaria Macro Algae work does it have roots or do you just acher it in the sand? i think it looks cool so i just want it for looks.. thanks

 

You will definitely need your lights for gracilaria, it should look yellowish to orange if you are using enough light. Think SPS level.

 

i have T5HO lights that will work right?
does it have roots or do you just acher
it where ever you want in the tank/

 

I think your T5 should work fine if you are using top of the line bulbs and reflectors. Not sure about anchoring haven't had any. I would be surprised if you could do both. It probably has hold fasts that you would anchor where ever you want. You should be able to tell when you get it.
