Caulerpa

[jadakiss]

can any one pls point me to the right answer on how to remove Caulerpa?

im thinking of doin a 25g water change every week. and removing as much as i can of Caulerpa and also going to run a phosphater reactor and putting a poly filter? will this help? i tested my phosphate in my tank and it was .5:irked:

Tweezers. pull it out by the roots, Freeze it, then flush it.

Also do you have another macro algae that's competing with the calurpa?

im goin to have to get some tweezers. ill stop by maybe by the 99cent place they should have some thing in that form. do u think if i do that process that i posted will it help. also i had a yellow tang but i got rid of it cuz it was pickin on my kenya but when i introduced the tang to my tank it ate all the Caulerpa. im thinkin of getting another tang but it has to be reef tanked raised.http://www.manhattanreefs.com/forum...aulerpa.html?highlight=how+to+remove+Caulerpa

you can just pull it out and what's left keep pickin it and cut nutrients back high nutrients will feed macro's

caularpa has Nothing to do with phosphates they are like an unstopable weed and its illegal out in cali bc it can ligit grow under any condition all it needs is alittle light when i got it in my tank i just pulled the rock out and for now that was that u will find pulling it, it will only come back with a vengance

I don't think you will ever be able to get rid of the caulerpa. I pull out as much as I can with every cleaning/water change, but its impossible to get out. Nothing eats it. My yellow tang will not touch it...in fact, I have never had a tang that would eat it. My algae blenny appears to eat it, but I suspect that it is just scraping the fibers.

Most tangs will eat most macro or seagrass if you don't feed the tang heavily...
