Well thank you anyway, Flower. I appreciate the response. ...... I've never looked into macroalgae but it sounds interesting. I may have to do some googling later! Do you have to have the high lighting requirements you do with most corals?
10.000K for some, which is the same as a single bulb on a T5. Most macros need only 6500, the kind of lighting on a clip desk top. Some are for cold water and some for warm, so when you google and find something you like besure to look at requirements. Some are green, some are brown (golden) and some are red. An example of red macro would be Botryocladia, a good example of green would be Caulerpa and the golden or brown example would be Sargassum. Some macros will look purple, they are considered red macros. Also some macros grow really fast, and some are as ticky as coral for needing perfect water conditions.
