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.

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.

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.....

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