My chaeto either most of the time floats or is about 2-3" below water surface. It litterly did not even grow 1cm since I bought it about 5 months ago lol. Still green as ever tho. I don't really check water parimeter much buy the last time I checked nitrate it was 15 because I expoxy some stuff in tank and my slimmer went nuts and overfilled and all the nasty stuff went right back into my system. This actually happened 2x lol then I did a water change a week after yes I know that's very bad lol. But all my coral and fish etc seem happy as ever. Next week I got some new LPS and did a revive dip and forgot to rinse it off b4 I it in tank and same thing happened to skimmer. My tank is normally 0-5ppm nitrate. How can there be litterly no growth in chaeto at all in this long period of time? Is chaeto not growing a bad thing?
