Grape Caulerpa?
i have a 55 gallon aquarium with a hangon style refugium. Would growing Grape Caulerpa cauese any potential problems? Could it get into the tank. I have read nightmare stories about the stuff and i am new to the hobby.
I am also planning on putting in chaetomorpha and Gracilaria... Grape stuff not worth the hassle? just use the other stuff? I also have a small powder blue tang that devours nori and even loves other fish foods. So maybe she/it will eat any potential problems?

Drewpy,
If a piece of the caulerpa gets into your tank then it could start growing. No suprizes there I hope. I don't find it difficult to remove, though. Just pull it up. I keep lots of different types of caulerpa and haven't had any problems. There is a risk that they will decide to reproduce sexually which results in the death of the parental thallus. This is especially likely if you have "zero" or nearly zero detectable nitrates. HTH, Kevin
