The experimental design of this study was completely randomized design (CRD) with 3 treatments ie different planting depths are: 50 cm, 100 cm and 150 cm, each treatment was repeated 3 test kali.Parameter absolute growth and daily growth rate is using ANOVA and followed by LSD test. Based on these results, value - average absolute growth (PM) was obtained at a depth of 50 cm is (197.5 g) followed by a depth of 100 cm (177.5 g) and the lowest at a depth of 150 cm (114.3 g). Results of water quality measurements at the site of the research is still in the ideal conditions for the growth of Caulerpa sp.
