What macro algae do you grow in your refugium?

Currently I have come chaeto, grape caulerpa, and a few mangrove stalks.
I got the grape caulerpa recently from a local reefer with hopes of growing it as food for the tang. So far it hasn't started eating it yet.

i've been thinking about setting up a refugium what is the best algae

IMHO I think that cheatomorpha is the best. It grows fast, does a good job at consuming nitrates, and won't go sexual like caulerpa will.

Anyone keeping any Sea Lettuce(ulva)?

ulva? never heard of it. got a pic?

I have tried ulva, but it just doesn't seem to grow.......doesn't die, but doesn't grow....

here is a pic



I like Cheato....

grows great and doesn't go sexual.....plus it makes a great place for small feather dusters to start to grow.....

I actually just got some ulva in the mail today. Will post some pics shortly.

Here is a shot of the ulva right before placing in my tank -

dickie52 - How long have you had the ulva?

What kind of lighting are you using on your refugium?
I am using 2 of the 5100K screw type compact fluorescent flood lamps.

right now, I don't have any.....

I light my fuge with 130watts of pc lighting.
