Hi Redspring

I keep abit of marine plants, generally i think u need enough lighting, must find a plant that your LS will not eat, iron or calcium additive to keep the plant healthy.

Beware of plants that will go asexual which will upset your tank water parameter.

Hey hermitcrab,

I'm really curious. Would you mind explaining what you mean by a plant going asexual? And how does that affect the water parameters?

Hi xnsdvd,

I do not really know the cause of plants going asexual, but i know that the after effect is quite bad, the plant will turn yellow and then wither. The nitrate level will go up because the plant are rotting.

Hi Redspring

You meant u have a yellow tang? that i am not very sure what plant it will not eat. But you cant keep red bamboo or red grape for sure as yellow tang will eat them.

I never keep tang before so I am not sure about their diet. I think tang do not eat turtle weed but you may want to confirm it with the seniors in this forum.

You heard of Chaeto? if like ball of green fishing line, good for keep nitrate down, grow quite fast and is food for some fish. I use it to remove nitrates from my tank. Not nice looking but helps to maintain tank.
