Only algae eaters I have are snails...
I'm wondering how macros will react to 67 x flow & 14k MH lighting. What macros would do ok in those conditions? My g/f wants something more than "ugly spiky sticks" to look at in my tank  .

The tend to do better under 6500k-10,000K but I was told they would still grow. I run a 14,000 K bulb as well. Don't know about the flow but I would think as long as they don't rip around the tank that they should be fine as well.
I have not seen a lot of variety around though. Most of the time you would have some starter culture on the rock to start with. I am on the hunt for some as well for my refugium. Maybe we can trade some different kinds later.

As far as what I would think Halimeda, Rhodophyte, Ochtodes, Acetabularia, and Padina. would be some good choices.
Not sure where you would find them though.
