What is your alk? My cheato was not doing well for a while and I raised the alk from 5 to 8.5 dKH and bingo! Back to normal growth. This is in a 10 gal holding tank for some of my LR
not sure of the theory behind cheato having to tumble? maybe others can chime in here and let us know?
my cheato grows like crazy and it doesnt tumble. its packed tight in a 7g tank. once it starts to grow out of the tank i chop it in half and then it grows to fill the tank again. very, very low flow system for me.
