Need help on a couple questions..

[petey]

1) I have over the last few months Halameda growing crazy in my reef tank. Can i put it in my refugeum which has a strip light on 24/7? What fish will eat it and what fish?
2) Am thing of getting a larger tank this late spring/summer. My existing reef tank is 5 plus years old, everything looks and runs fine (fingers crossed)! If i get a new tank and add a 4-6" DSB and put the existing rock i have now back in it will the tank recycyle or will it not? that is the question.
thanks!

Try to get as much Live sand as you can to keep it from cycling.

yes you can put the halameda in your refugium. I don't believe any fish eat it as it has a tough calcerous skeleton. It's a good macro algea for filtering though. If you trim it back don't trim it too much as it's kind of finicky.
