What kind of macroalgae is that? I want some to spruce up my mantis tank.

Thanks everyone, i plan to add different kinds of macro and make this a 'planted' saltwater tank. :)

Which one were you looking at? The 'grassy' green stuff is caulerpa prolifera.

Diana, I want it all.

I love the way you design your tanks. It gives the impression of many hiding places rather than a reef tank that showcases a garden.

It's always fun when you're looking at your tank and a critter comes running by :D.

Love the new look Diana. I bet the horsies love the new LR you added. Have you
ever thought of maybe adding some soft corals? maybe a few mushrooms or zoas just to add more colour. Anyways the tank looks great as is just a thought :) gl with your horsies.

Thanks for the comments. :)

I do have a red mushroom in there, and in the past had some other ones which didnt do so well because I let the tank get so overgrown that they had no light. I will probebly add some more eventually as I get frags from my reef tank... but I'm not in any rush. I'd rather focus on the macro. :)

Could you please explain the types of macro you have in there?

I have some that I have no idea what they are... but the ones I know are:

-Caulerpa prolifera
-Suction-cup caulerpa
-Cheato
-Botryocladia "Red Grape Caulerpa"
-I think a type of red Gracilaria
-Lots of little types that have grown out of the live rock, and also some little patches of "maidens hair" that are left over from a chunk I had.

There is also some *shudder* hair algae and bubble algae. Unfortunately when trying to please the good you also get the bad!
