macroalgae, sorry...there are many different types like grape caulpera, chaetomorpha, red hawaiian...etcetc...basically helps take out certains things like nitrates and what not, be careful on some, like the grape...as it can go sexual and kill your whole tank....maybe people have it in their refuges.....i'm sure if you do a search youll see tons of info.....what are you plans for the intake refuge?? if it just is holding live rock...wouldnt it be the same as putting it in the tank on the sand somewhere, give ya more room for other rock etc? or were you planning on something else with it?

i was going to use it as a place of safety for my pods to breed as i want a mandarin.
it has holes in the side for water flow. i was thingkin about putting chaeto in it but my tanks under 216 watts of t5. would that be too much?
so i ju8st buy some and put it in ad then trim it back when needed?

yea, i'd go with chaeto personally
