I don't know about nacho algae but red macro algae remove nitrates and phosphjates, just like cheato, but they are red....

led strip won't work.there is very little radiant energy.i make my own leds using 1 watt red,blue and a few whites to grow algae

if its a led strip thats rated for a reef tank to grow corals wont it grow algae? i was looking at stunner strips

[jordsyke]

just go buy a cheap desk lamp from home depot or somthing, throw in one of those spiral 60w ligth bulbs and booomm, macro algae grows like crazy under crappy lights

[Amadod2]

that sounds good and all but i dont have room under my stand thats why im thinking LED

[monocus]

yes it probably will grow using the stunners,red led really helps algae grow

I bought a UFO LED one an it grows incredible algae. Just search LED UFO lights. I bought mine on ebay pretty cheap.
