the first one looks like hair algae,
never seen the second one before,
third one looks like the starting of a money plant or some other macro,
the fourth one looks like kelp to me but i am not sure.

The first one has hair algae in front of it, but if you look behind the hair, there is a stem with balls growing off of it. Is this grape caulerpa?

Hey M thats quite a salad goin on in there right now. It looks quite different then the last time I saw your display.(boy that stuff really shot up) :D At least the frags you got from me look to be doing ok. I would probably start to pull some of that macro outta there. It can get out of control in a hurry, especially the caulerpa if that is what you have.
