What does that mean??? I use to have chaeto in my fuge, 3 times it turned white and died, so I switched to curlupia which is growing great, just not doing a thing for my trates. I actually did a 40% water change cause it was up to 60, got it down to 20 though. I am going to do another 40% next week to lower it even more, but thats alot of water to do in a 150, rather get help from my fuge, thats why i put it in

I turn the light on at night when my DT lights go off
Its growing like crazy, and so are my trates. need to thin it out soon. Guess all I can do is huge water changes to get it under control.

Caulerpa does not go sexual releasing nitrates on a nightly basis. Where did you get this info?

Calurpa is known to go sexual, I am not sure what it does when it goes sexual, but it has been also known to cause tank wipe-outs(by whatever it does when it goes sexual) if calurpa is trimmed/ pruned REGULARLY the chances of it goes sexual are slimmed signifigantly.(that is what I have read and heard)
