I Built a Macro Algae Forest in My Reef Tank!

Transforming My 17-Gallon Mixed Reef Tank with Macro Algae! 🌿🐡 After debating which direction to take my 17g mixed reef aquarium, I decided to go all in on macro algae. While I’ve experimented with macro algae in the past, I never gave it the attention it really needs—no nutrient tracking, no proper maintenance. This time, I’m setting it up for success. With no hermit crabs or emerald crabs to munch it down, and with better water parameters, I’m excited to see this macro algae reef tank thrive. Huge thanks to Mosaic Macros for the beautiful algae varieties and expert tips. This build feels like a whole new reefing journey! 🛒 Products Featured in This Video: Yellow Aquarium Gloves – https://amzn.to/4bXmFVz Oceans Wonders 3" Frag Tiles – https://amzn.to/4kyG2sU (1" frag tiles are out of stock—check BRS or SaltwaterAquarium.com) 💬 These Amazon links are affiliate links.
