Cool What type of algae for fuge...

Hi, what are you all using for good filtration algae in your fuge? Dont want one that will go asexual and turn my water cloudy...also have a tang that would maybe like something special now and then on the live side.

Is red garcilia good?

Chaetomorpha. If you can't find it at your local LFS, I bought a ziplock bag of it off of Ebay for $5.

Re: What type of algae for fuge...

a lot of people use/recommend chaeto.
Personally I use chaeto and sea fans. Not sure the proper name on it bit I'm sure someone else does.
