Heyya folks. I was wondering on the growth rates of feather caulerpa. I know kelp has some astronomical growth rate and was curious if their cousins had it too. It just seems like my stuff literally grows an inch a day. Thanks alot.

I think my record on grape caulerpa was 3" in a single day. Basically, if the light and nutrients are there, it grows insanely fast.

Lol. Thanks Boogie. I wanted to make sure I wasn't exaggerating when I told everyone at work that I have to prune it every 4 days.

Ahhh, and then you'll reach the point where you'll wish you never put it in the tank.
I know I did!:eek:
As for me I'll only use it in a refugium for nutrient uptake. The 400w halides made it grow so fast it became a nuisance.
