Marine plants!`

[theofilos]

I wanna make a 400-500g and have that natural touch marine plants give along with some easy going corals.
What fish should I avoid that will eat all of my algae? I dont mind them eating a bit but if they gonna empty the whole aquarium of macroalgae than its a no go for me. I am thinking of adding eel/grouper/tangs/angels/wrassses. For sure I know tangs eat algae but I dont know the quantity. Thx in advance :eek1: .

i would avoid tangs, angels and rabbitfish

my friend has a 300g tank. his 3 tangs can finish off a basketball sized ball of chaeto in 3 days just to give you an idea.. rabbitfish are voracious algae eaters also.

I wouldn't consider tangs good tankmates for macroalgae also....They trully like this stuff!!

Giati? :P

Why?

no ... if he finds good macros. he will be fine. esp with some interesting inverts and fish. really depejnds on execution. marine macros may be even mroe interesting than regualr corals.
