Radioheed, I'd suggest that while it's still manageable, you pull off all of your Caulerpa now. I know it looks cool. I thought so too, and left mine in there, and 3 weeks later it has taken off. The vines are a bear to pull off the rocks. And Caulerpa periodically "goes sexual" and releases a bunch of stored phosphates and nitrates back into the water column, thereby seriously damaging your tank. Save yourself some future pain and take it out now. If you like plants in the tank, you could get Halimeda or Shaving Brush plants. (although something in my tank has now devoured two entire shaving brush plants in my tank. grrr.)
