What should I put in my fuge?

I'm getting ready to order some macro algae tonight and I need your opinions on what I should add. I know I'm getting chaeto for sure but what else? I was thinking of getting mangroves but I heard they don't do that well so what else should I order?

 

well you could get some ulva or similar plants that fish like and you can feed it to your tang and use it in the fuge

 

Yeah I was thinking about getting ulva because I heard that copepods love it and that I could just stick it inside of the chaeto. Plus my yellow tang would love it.

 

i recommend chaeto, mangroves, and ulva. IMHO, that is the best combination you could find. Where are you ordering from? reefcleaners.org ? I recommend ordering from them because their cheato already comes with pods

 

Yup reefcleaners, today is the last day of their big sale so I'm ordering some algae and some more clean up crew.

 

Get some mangroves they take away nitrates and ammonia. I read that some where, ill try to find the link.

 

red mangroves

 

IME a bed of sand with different types of caulerpas/chaeto works well, ulva is good but I find it hard to grow because my pods eat it so quickly. I go into my LFS and ask if I can have some stray seaweeds, they seem to grow like mad in with there coral frags and are constantly pruning.

I end up pruning my fuge tank every 2 weeks and feeding some of the seaweeds to my tangs in my DT.

 

Cleaner clams? I have no experience but it is what I would like to add to mine very soon.

 

I ended up getting some chaeto and some ulva.
