Green plants...

I was thinking about adding a nice small, green plant in m BC14. I thought it would add some nice variety to the tank. Does anyone have any good suggestions??

There are various alga that you might consider, some of which are on that page. I like Penicillus, although I have a hard time keeping it going, and Udotea, which has been easier to manage. Some Halimeda species are nice, too.

Halimeda is nice. If your parameters are good then it will grow nicely. Its not so good at absorbing nutrients like chaeto or caulerpa, but its safer than caulerpa and not as boring as chaeto. Check out John at www.floridapets.com for lots of live macros.
