macro algae in main tank

daveverdo · 11/03/2006, 12:57 PM

I have 30g (12x36,16) with NO sump or fuge. Is there any nacroalgae that I can put in the tank that will add something visually as well as biologically but will not take over the tank.

Not really, most all macroalgae's grow fairly quickly. With no sump or fuge I would skim aggressively if you have a skimmer and/or do frequent water changes for nutrient export... remember the solution to pollution is dilution.
