Hi all,
I set up a 25G refugium with 65W VHOof lighting. I currently have a bundle of various plants in there(really don't have a clue what they are but they where in SW tank at store:)) but noticed some are turning white which I believe means they are dying? They're kinda leafy looking, not shaving brush or anything like that, other than that I don't know. I was wondering if there any plants that will survive under 65Ws of VHO?

If it is a type of caulurpa then you may just need to prune it. The white would mean it's going sexual on ya.

If thats the case I'd actually be happy. I have a hungry Hippo tang and Emperor that'll enjoy it I hope:) Thx for the replies.

That macro possibly going sexual isn't a good thing, it could be harmful. You may want to look at this thread and do a search yourself about how to deal with caulurpa. I just picked the first link that pertained to caulurpa, there are many others out there.
invertaman Try this thread, I asked awhile back also, this should help.
