We are finally getting our sump/fuge up and running. I've been trying to find a thread on here explaining the differences between different macro algaes for the refugium. From what I can tell, the two most popular are Caulerpa and Chaeto. Is there drawbacks to either of these? Are there other options?

Thanks!

The drawback to caulerpa is that it can go sexual and turn your tank water to pea soup. http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2004-05/nftt/index.php
