Macro-algeas are other living organism in the tank that look like plants. We have many types of them and there are not many people in Ottawa who have them in tanks. Our tank is so special because there are fish, corals and macros in one tank at the same time!
Macros are types of algea that forms and use what fish poops as food – like beetles using elephant dung very much! So, macro consumes unwanted particles in water making it cleaner! And during the day they produce oxygen! In the evening, you can see tiny bubbles forming on everything in the reef – this is oxygen from algeas! Macros could be moved by the current! So, sometimes it is necessary to place them where we want and far from corals not to block the light! I use tiny wires to hang them. Macros will grow in size – see them if a few days! That is important to monitor them if they do not cover corals!
