djsurfs Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 Hi, I have always struggled to Grow any macro in my temperate, native seahorse tank. I have plunked things like the odd seaweed and even macros from my troppo in there and they maintain/hang in there or slowly die... recently though, I finally actually have something Growing and am happy about that, BUT it has spread quite quickly and I'm not sure what it is; I hope it is not some nuisance algae accidentally introduced! Anyone know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 Looks like a common seaweed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 aw go on, s/he has FINALLY got something to grow in their tank, at least you could give it a more impressive/satisfying name! Must look cool waving in the current anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 Ok, it's Tseweidius Browin Waveii. I doubt it'd be a problem, I don't think there are any macro algaes that are bad, just an annoyance if they grow over everthing. And I doubt you have corals in that tank anyway. Seahorses should love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djsurfs Posted October 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 Thanks Stella... I was hoping for something a bit more definitive Ok, it's Tseweidius Browin Waveii. LOL funny guy It did start to worry me because it sprouted everywhere, proliferating on all the plastic hitches and sponge intake! I'm just curious why something is growing Now, after 4 years of failure... and no husbandry changes. Except I did collect some water offshore a few months back, instead of my normal beachwater...hmmm, maybe it favours low light, as one of my old bulbs died...and cold water. I'm using same water in my troppo, but no sign of it there. Ah well. I AM enjoying it, whatever it is. I just like to Know these things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djsurfs Posted March 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 I would be glad to! On other forums I am able to, but I don't see where here... how do I embed pics on this forum? I think I used to directly post here, but have had problems posting pics since the "new look/forum update" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cricketman Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 or send it in a email to me... might be easier [email protected] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
