How much Caluerpa is too much before it goes sexual?

Maybe even drop some of the rocks into the fuge down below where there is no light.....maybe that will help.

That probably won't work too well. I had caulerpa, sargassum an several other algaes sprout off of my liverock after it had cured 4 months in a covered trashcan.

Lack of light helps to kill it, but if the water has what it needs it will survive and once those rocks are introduced back into the sytem it will thrive.

bummer, I am just going to prune the heck out by hand and then let the tangs clean the rocks and stay on top of it for a while.


No seaweed, just caulerpa for the tangs for a few days!!!

I did it the same way in my last tank. I took the rocks out and picked as much off the rocks with a pair of small needle nose pliers. I could reach down into the rocks and get the runners as much as possible that way. Let the tangs have the rest and decided on the new tank fuge no caulerpa. Now all I have is cheato and some sort of long blade algae, also wanting to put a little bit of xenia in there.
