Biggest MISTAKE for Keeping Macroalgae in a PLANTED REEF
In this video i take a look at a question from a viewer about how tank maturation affects the growth of macroalgae in a reef tank. Just like coral, you should wait until your tank matures before adding macroalgae.

It's soooooooooo nice to see a reefing channel that isn't SPS SPS SPS SPS SPS

[@Koukasen]

This is probably the most helpful macro explanation I've listened to/read.

[@masheemashedpotatoes]

Absolutely love these aquariums with all the interesting macro algae and organisms. Well done!

Interesting stuff! Never been able to keep most kinds of macro algae alive long term in my coldwater tanks tbh, for various reasons.. Just recently started a tank where I hoped some macro algae would do ok, but it has not so far. Now I know one possible reason for that. Thanks a lot!

[@bubblerings]

Just for your unorthodox way of doing things, am Subbing!!

[@rajgill7576]

I learned this recently when i moved some of my nice blue macro over to my new system. Covered in cyano and diatoms/dinos lol. Ive been blowing it iff th3 rocks and everything before changing the water to remove some of the stuff

[@abstract1863]

This is what I've been looking for, great information. My tanks been running for 2 years. I'm just starting to introduce macroalgae to my system.

[@hamedsafari8534]

Best advice and it's compatible with my experience 👍

[@falcolf]

Definitely considering macroalgae for my tank❤

[@dimitrisgonatas2264]

Very nice jobe I needed to see a video like that

[@tonycloseukreef3799]

Great advice 👍

[@lorenzospina3174]

Great video as always man 😉.

[@jonathancoldwateradventure]

Shoud I stop brushing of rocks with pipette to remove the dirt layers that is caused by the fish? Or should I focus only on removing hair algea from my macro and glass?

[@archibaldbean7491]

A little bit out of topic: you got different kinds of fish. Angels, Butterflies, what are their primary diets? Is the ecosystem provides sustainable natural foods for the finicky eater, or do you just feed them dry foods? Would also like to see your quarantine tank(s), thank you.

[@dimitrisgonatas2264]

Do you have canister filter? Couse I run a saltwater with canister filter and I have plenty of macro algae codium. caulepra .dictiopteris and more

[@tubefeetmackay3693]

i like bristle worms great scavengers

[@bensalathian5508]

Hi there,

[@Eric-nu3wh]

you need larger filter tanks in the tanks with more fish

[@MACNTOSFAM]

i think the issue is keeping all these macroalgae tanks 😂. i have a micro tank as my only macroalgae tank.
