Default Grape Caulerpa

I still have nightmares from when it got into my DT. It grew like crazy. I was picking fistfuls of it daily. It was smothering some of my coral. Somehow I got rid of it. There's still small amounts of it growing here and there, but it's under control. I grow Chaeto in the sump and it never got into my DT. It grows like a week under good lighting (that's the key) and keeps the pH stable as well as lowers the nitrates/phosphates. It will inhibit algae growth in the DT to boot.
