Nano-reef user Metrokat’s display refugium is an awesome collection of macroalgae

Metro Kat Macro Algae

Marcoalgae is awesome, and not only because of their nutrient removal abilities. We love macro algae for its ease of maintenance, cool growth forms and colors and we’re even more fond of macro algae displays. This display refugium of nano-reef user Metrokat is no exception, hosting a spectacular variety of algae including Sargassum, Ochtodes, Halimeda, Halymenia, Botryocladia, Chaetomorpha, and Caulerpa Serrulata among others.

The display refugium is plumbed into a 34 gallon Redsea Max (which was featured as December tank of the month at nano-reef) and is illuminated by Ecoxotic Panorama Pro modules which are run in reverse of the main display. For more information on the system check out Metrokat’s build thread.

    I’d say she is far from a “role model” for most. She is a drama queen. She thinks she is a princess. She thinks her tank is amazing. It is really just a box packed with average frags. Her knowledge isn’t that great either. She causes more drama and wastes more time than most.

    Thank you Joost for featuring my fuge, this was a nice surprise. Thanks to all the comments, I really appreciate them. I’d like to invite ‘John’ to my thread on Nano Reef, there is much to be learnt about this hobby and I welcome your help.
