Trimming Fuge

[russianspy]

I have Capulara sp. and some string/wirey green stuff that bunches in a ball in our fuge. I read somewhere that trimming it will cause it to explode and overgrow your system. Is this true or can I just take scissors and cut it?
:help:

Just rip out what you want to export.

If you are talking macro algae then yes cut it, there was a good article about it in Aquarium fish monthly sometime over the last few months; if I can find the copy, i will post which one.

Thanx

It's the rare but dreaded Caulerpa cannibalis, the man-eating macro of Wannahawkaloogie Atoll! Flee for your life!
