nice phong remember how big my clump was before? i don't know what happened but mines ended up dying before a few stalks regrew into a mass like that. what type of lighting do you have for it. is it in your fuge?


heres a pic of it in it's glory. it's like 3/4th of that size now

[Elite]

I use to have it in the fuge because you said it doesn't like too much light. It didn't grow and I lost some branches.

It's currently in my 29G with 250W 10K XM bulb

Oh very nice! I dont know what to think with the reds honestly. Some seem to shun excessive light while others flourish in bright conditions like you've shown with this sample.

i put it directly under the light and it started dying... LOL then i put it in indirect light and it's come back strong.

What lighting, type and spectrum, are you using and is it in the 7g mentioned in your sig? They both look sweet BTW!

Thats so nice macro! What kind is it?

That is very interesting. It seems to like my MH

Oh yeah, you can have a frag if you come to SJ Sam ..

Someone posted the name before but I can't find it. The search doesn't work for me ... I went through 5 pages and got tired looking ..

ops.. please del

I was growning great gobs of the stuff in a previous tank, some under 250w MH some under 30w fluorescent. It also grew in a wide range of water flow.

In my current tank it comes and goes and never seems to get beyond a few 2" strands. I suspect it is responding to nutrients in the water, but who knows...

Didn't have many competing green macros in the previous tank though.

that was in my 55g i tore down 6 months ago. my 55g had 130W PC lighting 10k,50/50 bulb. I had it directly under the light which caused the pieces to fall off. I put it on the sandbed and it made a recovery. i have it in my HOB refugium since then.

the 7G has a few different types of macro in it right now. most of my exotic macro went into my brothers tank as i collected new corals and needed space... bad idea, he didn't turn on his lights for like 3 months. all the nice macros are gone! *SIGH*

Wow! That's awesome stuff! Is it Botryocladia? can you cut off a piece and attach it to a rock and start a new plant? If so, would one of ya'll want to sell / give me a frag when it gets warm enough to ship stuff easily? :-D

Doesn't look like Botryocladia.....
And yes you can cut off a branch and glue it to the rock. you can't let it free flow.. it will die.

[ImAFinAddict]

I am assuming you glue the side of it to a rock? Or do you glue the very bottom of it? Are you using super glue gel?

Thanks

[Elite]

glue gel.. I do whatever to make it stick ..

[bluenassarius]

its botryocladia uvaria

[saraiva]

The blue algae is Ochtodes ?
