Refugium help

[John07]

I am not for sure what is growing in my sand bed. It currently has cheato, red grape, and a little ulva.
Also, I am starting to grow some copepods in the refugium and how much flow should be going through?http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/02/13/zajahaby.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/02/13/8u4ybu3e.jpg

it looks like bubble algae in those pics. and as far as flow goes, enough to have the chaeto moving around and not just stagnant...can you post a pic of the entire fuge?

It's a type of Cyano, I keep the flow in my fuge pretty slow which is why cyano tends to thrive in my fuge.

I don't worry about it though, as I believe that if its growing in the fuge it will consume everything it needs preventing it from spreading to my tank, which is of course full of flow.

Exactly. By the way, I do not recommend any type of caulerpa in tanks or refugia.

Here is a picture of my fuge. What should I do to remove the cyano?

[Reefmedic79]

Nothing, leave it alone or manually remove with your regular pruning of the macro.

Can I add snails or crabs?

You mean to try to control the cyan? You could. Of course they could also feast on your macro algae.

Thank you for the help.
