How do you get rid of Caulerpa prolifera??
 

Hi Susan,

Don't know if this will help if it's running rampant, but in the past I've
"blocked" the light to a specific portion of my tank by temporarily putting
a a small piece of wood (I guess anything will really work though) between
the glass cover and the lights, over the area that I want diminished light
to. It just took some experimentation to find the right size obstruction &
placement on the glass, without casting too big of a shadow and effecting
anything else. This combined with manually pruning some of it out may help.

I have to be honest, I've never tried this with caulerpa, but have succeded
with other lower forms of algae by doing this. This way there are no animals
introduced that need to be specially fed after the algae is gone, and if
desired (this is what I did), you can leave one section where the algae
continues to grow, which will make it easier to manually remove by picking
it off the rocks when needed, but maintaining it's benefits to your tank.

If you try it, hope it works for you.

How do you get rid of Caulerpa prolifera??
 

Thanks for the suggestion! I didn't think about blocking an area. I've been
able to keep it under control in a small area in my previous tank where the
rocks with the caulerpa were beforehand (by pruning it and the fish keeping
it "mowed') but somehow or another it really took off when I set up my 75
gallon tank. I'm guessing since I now have VHO lighting on the tank it's
helping it spread. Several of my fish will pick at it but it's just not
enough to keep it controlled now. I guess I have a caulerpa picking day
ahead of me :)

Well Susie Q .evidently you just do and not read up first as any
individual that has half an IQ knows, its not a good idea to put
caulerpa in a DT......it belongs in a sump or refugium at most. I bet
some dumbass here on this group told you it would be fine to put in
the DT. Get a tang or a foxface or put up with it. Yu can always pull
the rocks and scub it down and cross your fingers...or remember not to
take idiots that work at LFS word on doing anything or especially the
adivice given here by Wayne Sallee and a few others.which is for the
most part totally erroneous info.Afterall the guy could not even keep
his stock in his petshop alive and it put him out of business, and he
insists on giving out info on a usenet group...go figure. Pull out
what you can and keep doing it until you can get a proper fish or two
in there to erradicate it.
