I've done both caulerpa and chaeto in the past with reasonable results. Chaeto I didn't mind but it died out after I switched to NP pellets and I never started it up after stopping pellets just on account that I was convinced zeovit would take care of the PO4. Caulerpa OTOH was a freakin' disaster, it spread all over the display tank and I was never able to fully rid myself of it. It would literally hide in spots where I (and my tang) couldn't see it and that stuff is nasty, it'll totally kill off coral if it wants to. Doug claims anemones are evil, I say anemones are more on the dumb side and it is caulerpa that is evil - I swear it has a sentient malevolent intelligence to it, which is rather impressive for an algae.

For the moment I think I'm OK - thanks for the offer though! I haven't ruled out going back to a non-caulerpa-type-macro down the road, if I decide that GFO isn't for me or something like that..
