HOW TO Keep Marine MACROALGAE In A REEF Tank | Complete BEGINNERS GUIDE Planted Reef

[@lorenzospina3174]

You are a point of reference in the world for macroalgae , thank you so much 😉.

[@EverydayAquarist]

Wow thanks

[@rollerkitbird]

Started off really basic but then you got into the good stuff... Thanks!

[@EverydayAquarist]

Glad you enjoyed the video

[@DanielKeepingFish]

Fantastic macro algae guide mate. Sure I'll hit the salt at some stage and when I do ill be coming straight back here. 👍

[@EverydayAquarist]

Thank you. Hopefully it will help

[@callmebigpapa]

I totally agree I did an experiment on my salt tank years ago and add some Flourish Excel and it killed a lot of the tank. That said works great on my co2 pumped planted tank.

[@SequoiaElisabeth]

Great video! Thank you. I will need to watch this several times, LOL. Lots of info here.

[@EverydayAquarist]

Glad it was helpful!

[@749cyyoung]

What a beautiful tank u have! I think macro algaes are just as beautiful as corals!

[@EverydayAquarist]

Thank you very much!

[@apss5736]

All your tanks give me British rockpool vibes with the algae and fish. Very natural

[@EverydayAquarist]

Thanks

[@algenkoenig]

It's very interesting. I started my marine tank also with lava rocks. I had them already from my Brackish tank, which now went full marine. And everybody says, i can't use them, they realise toxine and so on, i need to 100% reef rocks or live rocks, otherwise it's Not a marine tank. Long story short, i am running this Setup now a little over a year, and macro algae and corals are growing very good. Also i got a high power freshwater led over my tank.

[@EverydayAquarist]

Nice!

Thank you for your information. Your video is full of useful information.

[@homelessinvestor2000]

Great video!🎉 Lots to think about. Thank you

[@apss5736]

awesome video and beautiful anthias.

[@EverydayAquarist]

Thanks for watching

[@jonniefast]

I was relieved when I saw we have the same light and brand😂

[@jackpt1981]

Great video and guidelines! As always :) Do you have any experience with differences between dosing iron chloride and iron gluconate?

[@EverydayAquarist]

Thanks, no I haven't

[@stevegee8010]

Excellent guide. What about standard Flourish, that should be good?

[@danielpietruczuk5811]

Another outstanding info!

[@EverydayAquarist]

Thanks

[@kevinaronyk6081]

Great video ,very comprehensive. But one question I have is that I was growing Dragons breath {gracilaria}and it went sexual , and the main plants melted ,but now I have small tufts of red everywhere on my rock work. {I actually quite like it ,and it glows a nice reddish orange under blue light} The addition of some turbo snails is keeping it in check ,but I'm wondering if you know what it takes to trigger it to go into full blown vegetative growth again? I've looked on line and there is not much info that I can find.

[@MaxelWong]

Stay the course. Life finds a way. Keep the usual lighting schedule n feeding times.

[@jerry3sanchez]

Wow nice!

[@delouise17]

You touched on cycling, do you have a video for the macro tank cycle?

[@Hazynote253]

do you dip macroalgae in something like corals to prevent unwanted hitchhikers before you add them to your tank?

[@jacksonsparrow8865]

Can macro algae that looks like sea weed form on its own from just sunlight?

[@sokritlun1624]

Do you fertilizer the macro algae with something like Chaeto gro? If so how will it affect the corals?

[@annikajuliaroth4326]

Hey, would you recommend a freshwater pro Aquarianer that's highly interested in Saltwater to start with a macro alge tank? I don't want fish maybe just some crabs or nudibranches?

[@lesterpobar5991]

Great video! Do you test iron level?

[@EverydayAquarist]

Nope. The tests are too expensive and not very accurate. You can tell by the algae colour

[@lesterpobar5991]

@@EverydayAquarist this is a good information. I will follow what you said in your videos. Thanks

[@drewmartorelli8379]

Is all that dark hardscape lava rock? I don't want my next macroalgae tank to look like a reef, so I'm hoping for an alternative to live/dry rock.

[@EverydayAquarist]

Yes it is

[@OstentatiousClown]

Will Tail spot blenny eat macroalgae?

[@briandixon4931]

What kind od rock you are using

[@leeandmandybattersby5958]

i am planning in setting up a fish only with wrasses and valentino puffer do you know if i could add macro algaes or will they eat it thanks

[@EverydayAquarist]

Should be ok

[@leeandmandybattersby5958]

great thanks

[@RafaelFerreira-du6tx]

so if you don't do water changes you can do flourish excel?

[@OmniversalInsect]

Excel is an algicide.

[@abhisekmukherjee3704]

Hey! just curious how how you have platys in your saltwater setup ? thnx

[@EverydayAquarist]

I have videos on how to do it

[@mystery8276]

hey I have the same what u keep it at?

[@tonycloseukreef3799]

Hi macroalgae must come with pests how can you solve this thanks

[@EverydayAquarist]

You can quarantine it or just live with them as I do. They are part of the ecosystem

[@onschbacher]

Sounds like 7500K must be the light you need to look for

[@christopherwharton6022]

Um… if your tank was 24-26* it would be an ice cube, innit?
