Scroll algae?

[ram man]

I have identified one of the marco algaes in my tank, it is called scroll algae. Is this stuff good for my tank? does it have any special needs? I think it is pretty coll looking and would like to keep some.

Check out Lordroad's Nano thread (not the step guide, his actuall one) and youll see some sweet pictures and his experience. I would pos a link but am at a school laptop and its being annoying.

I would kill to have some scroll algae in my tank, quite an interesting specimin in my opinion

Yeah, scroll algae is where it's at, I loved the stuff on mine. But it grows fast so be ready to prune it... just don't prune it all... I did it twice and the third time it never came back, and I miss it a lot.

No special needs, and it is good for the tank like most macro algae, eats some nitrate.
