PatrickSwane Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Hi bros. I couldn't find any topics regarding red bamboo algae. I would like to know the benefits of these algae. Hope u guys can help Macro algae is used to reduce the nitrates in the tank. Red bamboo algae is also a food source for tangs and other herbivorous fishes in your tank.

SRC Member iskay Posted October 29, 2010 SRC Member Share Posted October 29, 2010 Red Bamboo Algae - Tangs love it. Good Seashorse perch. Can come as hitchhikers or bought from shops. However this species can go asexual. Quote "Be formless... shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle; it becomes the bottle.

kimo_8410 Posted October 29, 2010 Author Share Posted October 29, 2010 I see. Thanks for the info. I have put a bunch of bamboo in my tank. My tangs jus ain't eating it at all. What's wrong with that? Do I carry on to just leave it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Reefer yikai Posted October 29, 2010 Senior Reefer Share Posted October 29, 2010 this species will go *sexual. not asexual. sexual reproduction means the release of spores/gametes etc that will cloud the water. asexual is reproduction by spreading/budding/fragging etc. also do note that in order to significantly reduce nitrates and phosphates, you will need alot... relative to water volume.

37Alpha Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Red bamboo will be good to add if you have tangs in the tank. They will love it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeahSengYong Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Red bamboo is good for tangs if they are new and don't eat pellet for a start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member Quas111 Posted December 12, 2013 SRC Member Share Posted December 12, 2013 I have red bamboo in my sump. It turns green when it is about to die. It looks nice and I use it to conceal my chaeto from sump display lol. I dont think feeding it to tangs is sustainable though. They don't grow very thick and spread outwards, meaning that they need more space than other macroalgaes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
