Default Cheato!!!

I have a ton of cheato in my 55g and it is doing well. Much too well. It must be eating well since I have zeros for all my params and have had these since it came home. I removed my frag rack from the fuge since it is now being over taken by the cheato and is growing on everything in there.

How much do I need to have and how much can I take out at one time without causing a spike in params. Will I always need it in my tank or when it does mature can I take it out? I read that it is a very good thing to hacve but man, is it ever nasty.

I know people are always in search of it and after today I may have some available after I clean out the fuge.

Is there a way I can keep it in the fuge and have it under control some what? I have a ton of live rock in there as well but moved it all to one side of the fuge and will be putting the cheato on the other side.

The only thing I have super good luck in growing are cheato and aiptasia although my corals seem really happy so long as I do not have them in the fuge. The lights are on in the fuge at night and in the mornings the cheato is all over the frags so I have put them in my display for now.

Any help on taming the beast?
