![]() Well I'll offer my opinion then
![]() I had some halimeda in my tank last year. Personally, I love the stuff, I really like the look of it and as a dual purpose it uses up nutrients that other nasty (ie. caulerpa) macroalgaes might otherwise use. You may not want it in a tank where you are dosing calcium but I had a reactor so I didn't see it being a problem. I was doing pretty well growing it last year until the dinoflagellates wiped it out. ![]() HTH Christy ![]()

![]() I have some halimeda and I think it is quite attractive, but I'm beginning to consider it a nuisance, as it pops up in unwanted places and needs to be pruned from time to time.

![]() thannks for the replies guys
![]() now that i think of it it started to grow after i added some sps corals and dosing calcium. the stuff must have been there all along and didn't atart growing untill the calcium levels were high enough. i have haf that rock in the tank far longer than any of the sps corals.
