anyway to grow macros faster?

[chinmo]

as above bros, any ways to do it? will injecting co2 helps? anibody tried b4?

[spawns]

on ur light for 24hrs/7days(directed straigth at ur fug) and let nature takes it course....me use PL. u'll c it gets double the amount in a mth time when it reproduce and within no time u have to trim them

Bad idea, it'll cause pH to dip and a hosts of other issues.

Perhaps giving us an idea of what kind of lights and the lighting regime you keep the macros under will help.

oh i c, i drop the idea of injecting co2... i'm using 2x36, 6700k watts fl on my tank, there is growth... but was hoping it grow even faster...

Bro, you think like fresh water planted tank - just increase CO2 and the plant will thrive ah.....

[FuEl]

Supplement iron and iodide...

yah lor yah lor... u sure can read my mind....

my acros keep getting smaller....y?

[chinmo]

dude, think u post in the wrong forum.... u shld post ur acros problem in the sps forum...

Which macroalgae are you keeping? There are fast and slow growers.

It is prudent not to dose anything that you cannot test readily and economically.

Besides, these 'fertilisers' will also fuel nuisance algae such as hair algae.

Suffice to say, "If its not broken, don't fix it"

You have to admit slow growing macroalgae is better than the ones crashing.

Mel,

Perhaps you / someone else / something keeps fragging them?

Otherwise, I can't fathom how else is that possible

I can move your question to the SPS section for the nuts there to ponder over.

i'm growing these....

Caulerpa Webbiana is hardy, grows like weed, and have clingers which are a bitch to dislodge from whatever it has a hold on. Nonetheless, its supposed to be a fast grower.

In any case, the amount of nutrient uptake (PO4, NO3 etc) from a macroalgae refugium can only be that much. If your water parameters checks out fine, I would advise to leave it as is.

true! dif to dislogde, but very hardy... okie thanks for the advice guys.... i just let it be....

The last time I have in growing on my Display tank and could not remove them. In the end I have to remove the LRs they were growing on to be dump in total darkness for 1 month in order to eradicate them!
