• Hetamorpha VS Caulerpa

  • Alan273

What is better for a sump, cheatomorpha or caulerpa? I heard that one removes phosphates more, while the other removes nitrates (I don't remember exactly which is which) and that they don't coexist well together. Is that true?

Alexander

In the swamp, there are three types of caulerpa, botryocladia, and chetomorpha, that live for about two months. It may not be a long time, but they do live, and sometimes I even break them for the sailors from Kharkiv.

I am most interested in what is BEST for SAMP, although I understand that the question is somewhat "silly" from one perspective.

Cynthia

Better than a hetamorph. I would also try to launch a scruber.

Tami

hetamorpho

I read on AquaLogo that for fast growth of heteromorphs, magnesium is needed, but "fast" is a relative term; many there also wrote that they grow well under low light. What kind of light do you have in the tank for heteromorphs?

Curtis

I was thinking about the scrubber, but I haven't gotten around to it yet.

The same thing (with uncomprehending hands)

Here in this link, the focus is on Kaulerpu -

Tolya, this is for YOU Don't compare. A student always knows at 3. A teacher knows at 4. And only God knows at 5. .............. The principle of the skimmer is flotation + weak oxidation. What about the principle of the oxygenator? And you can also monitor REDOX. What about others? Well, fine, I (so modestly). Don't make me laugh. With your aquarium? It can handle even more. Where have you seen water plants in the REAL sea? ................ In short, colleagues, this is for 18 and older (not for me).

I support chetomorpha. The light from MH is better for it, or LL but a lot, as it grows poorly in low light. I turned off the light, and sexual reproduction may begin in the caulerpa, and it accumulates all sorts of junk, then gives it back.

Jasmine

I haven't seen anything about sexual reproduction, but I have read about it.

The ecological balance on the reef is far from just the number of macrophytes per unit area. Numerous other factors are at play, and it makes no sense to focus on them in this context, as much has already been said about them. I don't want to waste time on lengthy writing. If you're interested, call me today at 7 PM, and we can discuss this topic in more detail.

I think it's possible to do without cleaning agents, but the size of the aquarium, the rocks, and the selection of livestock play a big role in this. This approach is not suitable for all reefs... I don't think it will work with SPS corals.

If you read this, it seems to pass... but, once again, but... the truth is there are no problems with LPS corals... I can say that for sure... Just one phrase is worth mentioning, I quote verbatim: "soft and hard corals are growing at an unprecedented rate." As they say, the legend is fresh... I don't have a set of such super SPS corals to make any claims, and I have no desire to acquire them either. That's why I can't vouch for the credibility of what is written in the article. As they say, until you see it for yourself... but I don't really want to verify anything. I'm satisfied with what I have...
