What kind are you running in your fuge or display?


Currently Im running only chaeto but looking for different species, I really want to try ulva....

I have ran grape caulpera in the past and that stuff is awesome for nitrates and my tangs loved to munch on it... It never leached into my tank like some claim it will.... It wouldnt stand a chance with all my tangs.. Lol

Just curious to what everyone uses... I personally would rather hook up a big ol fuge with macro loaded in at than any biopellets or reactors..

So whatcha running?

Heres a old pic of my fuge, it is gravity fed off of one of my drains and feeds back into the sump..
