Jesse Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Create a thriving marine planted aquarium with gorgeous ornamental macroalgae from LiveAquaria®. These stunningly vibrant and easy-to-care-for algae let you create dramatic aquascapes that are as beneficial as they are beautiful! The Aquacultured Dragon's Tongue Algae is arguably the most recognizable ornamental macroalgae among aficionados. This highly decorative ornamental macroalgae is simply stunning in appearance with its fiery coloration and deeply serrated fronds that impart an exquisite textural and architectural visual interest. The Aquacultured Dragon's Tongue Algae makes a dramatic addition that immediately energizes any marine aquarium landscape. In addition to its aesthetic benefits, the Aquacultured Dragon's Tongue Algae provides natural water quality benefits through nutrient export and oxygenation for a cleaner, healthier aquarium environment. The Aquacultured Dragon's Tongue Algae exhibits a high degree of variability in color and growth habit ranging from compact and bush-like to flowing tendril-like depending on aquarium conditions - a relatively fast grower under ideal conditions. The Aquacultured Dragon's Tongue Algae is great choice for most nano reef aquariums, refugium or seahorse systems. However, if growing for display purposes, it may not be suitable in systems housing large herbivorous fish and invertebrates, as they will delight in dining on the Aquacultured Dragon's Tongue Algae. Aquacultured Dragon's Tongue Algae arrives ready to anchor in the rockwork of your refugium. Provide medium to high flow and low to moderate lighting with the supplementation of iron, magnesium and trace elements. While the Aquacultured Dragon's Tongue Algae provides natural filtration utilizing available phosphate and nitrate, excessively high levels of phosphates or nitrates will inhibit growth. The Aquacultured Dragon's Tongue Algae is also an important and favorite food source of herbivores like tangs and angels. Once established, clip pieces from your refugium or nano aquarium and feed as a nutritious snack. https://www.liveaquaria.com/product/3551/dragons-tongue-algae?pcatid=3551&c=497+3752+3551 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muttley000 Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Pretty cool looking stuff. I've never tried to keep it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMM Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 My first reef 5ank was a 30 cube with a hang on back filter. Ran reef breeder lights. Grew the dragons breath like a weed in that tank. Never been able to grow it since and I have tried several time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's the trick Joe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMM Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Could be. Last time I tried it was in my big sump with a 380 over it and med to low flow and it just dissolved. The 30 had med flow when it was up. The algae swayed but was not blowing around at all. Pretty stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
