What are good plants/algea to have in a fuge?

Macroalgea -- Chaetomorpha (cheato aka brillo), Red Gracilaria, Grape Caulerpa, etc.

I keep Grape calerpa in mine but I hear that it can go sexual. To keep it from clouding up your tank I run my fuge lights 24/7 and keep it pruned back by feeding to my tangs.. I `ve never had mine mess up but I`m knocking on my head pretty hard right now.

i have Chaetomorpha in my refuge....i cant complain about it. i have it under 2 19 watt 6500k flourescent screw base lamp( equivalent of a 75 watt lamp) from lights of america and put it in a clamp on holder to focus on the refugium. the bulbs were about 10$ from home depot and the clamps were around $5. from what ive experienced the chaeto grow crazy under this bulb. hope this helps
