Use a light with spectrum focused on the Red and blue spectrums of light. The chlorophyll of macro algae require specific spectrum of light in order to function. Not just any photons will work. Think 400-700nm wavelength. Lots of affordable and not so affordable options. Thanks for sharing the adventure! I would be out doing this everyday if I lived close enough to an ocean/reef.
@@sgbbco3981 no, close to the surface all light can reach the algae, so in addition to red and blue you do also need green for some specific type of algae. It is always best to replicate natural enviromment.
I used to find a cut off 2l coke bottle they were more willing to enter than a net . Knitting needles also worked well and jottke brushes. Catching them us 3/4 of the fun
G,day mate from Australia :) was watching your video collecting aquarium fish in a rock pool ..looks like you had a lot of fun ,yet it can be frustrating..collecting fish so young esp butterfly,s best to add co-pods to your tank b4 gives them something to pic at till they except food they eat that stuff in the wild as babys.. also some advise try to get the fish away from ledges ,,wait till there in a easy spot less stress on them ..i collect for my home aquarium here and ill post a link for you to see how i do it,,can have the same frustration even on scuba but its a lot of fun ..would like to see a update to your aquarium later enjoyed your video cheers :) my link th-cam.com/channels/QEDTxwjgrimtI01CL4aOIw.html
Also if you want to keep algae from shallow area its better to use light for planted aquariums rather than lights for reef tank.

You should just do fish traps in the areas that you want to catch rare species of fish for your aquarium
I want to try that
I understand teh guys are killing it in PE, water is warm and full of fish.... catch them all before teh cold water comes!!!

Baby chaetodons readily feed on an open mussel. I’ve caught thousand over the years and also own a commercial fish collection licence.
That's cool man
