I currently have multiple types of macros in my fuge.
Feathery, red and green grape caulepra, spaghetti, and a short bristly calepra.
Im trying to outcompete the macros that are running rampant in my display. the only one really causing a headache is dicytoa. its as bad if not worse than hair algae.
Will only growing one type of macro in my sump be better than growing multiple types? Since this is a nutrient war, it would make sense to grow one type and have it dominate the nutrients the other algaes are consuming. Am I flawed in my thinking? My friend has multiple types like me and one of his species crashed. This is what really got me thinking. I dont have any green or red grape or feathery caulepra growing in the display. My hope is that I can establish a a good population of one of these that is not growing in my display and hopefully it will take control of the nutrients.
I have to pull my macros anyway due to a flatworm infestation in my sump. Im thinking of using only the green grape since it seems to grow the fastest. A good fresh water dip should handle any worms.
any input would be greatly appreciated.
