The trick is the lighting requirement for Caluerpa is different than the reef lighting. I had best results in the Eco 60watt bulb regular screw in. I've given away tone of caulerpa that grew to plague like proportions.. Great algae scrubbing system. I'm contemplating other plant types as well now

hey la fish guy i love your show i wish it was on tv, but the modification you made was called a turf scrubber just to help
-
hey M, I am sure the tank size is fine but make sure he has polite tank-mates.
-
@lafishguy Yes thats the one i was referring to. I really like him and now want to get him for my tank. would he be fine in a 37 gallon tank tall? Thank You

hey M, you mean the Long Horn Cowfish, the one with the horns? he is a $30 fish and id fairly peaceful, but not recommended for corals or invertbrates.
-
hey J, yeah I figured thats how it was cut...very carefully :)
-
whats the yellow guy called? and what parameters does he need?
I like your videos. I have run a system like this for many years and wonder why you haven't just added a faster grown algae such as Caulerpa. This has been very good for me and the only maintenance is to remove some to prevent asexual die off. This I do by cutting and feeding to my tangs in the main tank...

hey A, actually I tried caluerpa, as well as Cheto, and I like caluerpa but I had too much die off for it to regularly counted on.

I love your videos. What is causing the bloom to begin with? Can you you fill in a little more detail, Light cycle too long, additives to tank.... Is it the sea water vs mixed that contains the algaes.... I would drive a little more tech info in your show.
