Why would you want to remove the macro.... or are you talking about nuisance algae that you've let be?

Suzy if you let Angel near that tank for 2 mins quite a few of your algaes will be voting absentee!! We love them... in the display (and sump).
Every electronic device is manufactured with smoke stored deep inside... only a true genius can find a way to set it free.

wow that is some pretty algae, i have some nice green in my nano that i have to prun every few weeks it grows like mad and keeps the other algae away
i have a huge bubble algae farm if you would be interested in any of that i'd send it to you... lol... i thought that was pretty and interesting and then it took over

It is really nice to see you here in this thread. While your online how about you go over to the TOTM thread and enter or vote. It will only take a minute
Algae
I have some brown sargassum in the display and i like it a lot, the mandrine hunts in there. It tears out easy when it takes up to much space. I have some grape caulerpa that is pretty but it spreads very fast so i tear it out of the display as it seems like it could take over.

Not nuisance algae, lol. I haven't tried to identify what it is, but as long as it's not growing so much as to overtake anything, I'm fine with letting it be. I think it adds interesting texture to the tank!Originally Posted by seahorsedreams

I let the large valonia stay put. Do you have a pic of your algae?

I WAS TOLD THAT ALL ALGAES ARE GOOD AS LONG AS IT ISN'T SMEAR OR HAIR. IS THAT RIGHT?

I will admit that my pony corral is a hot bed for hair algae... I keep it in check, when it gets long, stringy etc...but the "tufts" are actually quite pretty. Unfortunately, after losing much of my macro algae (long story) the hair algae has become the dominant species. However, I am collecting (as donated) more macro and hope to reverse the cycle such that I have more colorful macro and fewer areas of hair algae.
For what it's worth, when I do pull out the HA, I find TONS of pods in it. My mandarin looks at me when I harvest it with a "Hey...what the heck are you doing" attitude
