I know the Par meter might be stretching it, but somebody's gotta have some Chaeto!

I had to get mine from RC in Calgary but it has not grown at all or I would give you some. If I get to RC on Friday I will see if I can get you some. I think I need a better light on my refugium.

What kind of light do you have on there Greg? I've grown Chaeto in the past with a 12 watt CF light.

Are you still running pellets? that might be sucking up all the nutrients that your chaeto should be getting.

I have a T8 fixture with a plant grow light. I am running Vertex Bio Pellets in the camber after my cheato. It hasn't grown but it also hasn't shrunk either, lots of little stars & pods in it.

Hmmm, I'd bet money then that it's the pellets taking the nutrients up before the Chaeto gets them.
