When we had our 75 gal a few years ago, grape caulerpa got waaaay out of control. Pulling it out bit by bit did nothing but make it grow faster

So, I got serious. Got a few buckets full of changewater, pulled each rock out and took the tweezers to the stuff. Its roots were embedded everywhere, but tweezing EACH little bit of it off worked. Rock that was cleaned went into buckets until the whole 100 lbs of LR were cleaned. Took two days to get all the caulerpa off the rock, but had that rock for two years afterward and no caulerpa ever grew back
