idea??

[gohome]

since my fish will eat macroalgae. and i dont have a refigium but i want them to eat my nitrates. can i put macroalgae in a little basket in the back of the tank where they can get light without fish bothering them?>?

Yep. make sure water current flows thru the basket.

will a sixline wrasse and a yellow tailed damsel eat macroalgae???/? beacause they are the only fish that might make it through the basket.

A sixline wrasse is a carnivore, so he won't it- The yellowtail is an omnivore, so he might. Not sure if damsels eat algae or not. Anyone?

No the damsel won't eat the algae, but it might eat the pods that comes off of it though. :happyfish
