Effectiveness of chaeto

[Xenoch88]

Right now I have a ery small amount of chaeto, that has been in the tank since day 1. It has grown maybe a little but not much.


Once I get the hood fixed (lower the level of the external overflow) I will be running the chaeto in a reverse light cycle in the refugium/Sump just to remove nitrate (if any pods make it up to the top via the pump, yay! if not, oh well.)


Till then, it is brown algea, and since I just added my 2 clows a week or 10 days ago, and when I removed the cheato to the sump and it failed the diatoms exploded thereafter, so before that perhaps my cheato was gobbling everything up nicely.

For now it is a minimal amount, but I am hoping it will grow!
