chaeto dying

Hello all, So I have bought numerous macro algae and they kept dying. Even used chaetogrow. One thing I used and seems to be working perfectly is Ferrion by brightwell aquatics which is an iron supplement. I struggled with keeping the macro algae alive for a while. But since I added this it...

Hey everyone, looking for some insight for growing chaeto in my sump seems like every time I’ve tried it’s ended up almost like disintegrating. Ive had all my parameters checked multiple times at my LFS, everything came back perfect except my nitrates which are at about 25. Am I doing something...

I’m dealing with a weird situation where my chaeto, sea lettuce, and pom pom don’t appear to be doing well, but my red ogo is doing great. I have no clue why the green macros (and the Pom Pom) are suffering while the red ogo is thriving, and I’d like to make sure this isn’t indicative of a...

Hello! So I have been trying to grow Chaeto, and to not avail, it ends up going clear and brown. My nutrients are 15-20 ppm for nitrates and between .1-.003 ppm for nitrates. I have my lights on for an 8-10 hour photo period, with a 60% intensity at 7 inches above the surface, Chaeto being down...

Hello! I am new to the refugium world. My Chaeto is turning white in some spots, but definitely has enough light. I run the AI Prime Fuge on 60% for a 10 hour photo period that was acclimated at 50% of that onward. Secondly, I might not have enough flow, because I rigged up a baffle in my sump...

I have tried to have Chaeto in a refugium a couple of times to fight the hair algae in my DT. But in both cases, after a month or two it starts breaking apart and of course, it creates a mess in my DT Setting: I have created a separate compartment in my Reefer 170 sump with a Kessil H80 for...

Hey all I need an advice here. I have a refugium with a chaeto set about 15 days ago. It was fine until yesterday when started to break in a few pieces. Today in the morning it was worse, so I took out from the sump because started to spread a lot of pieces in the tank. It is still green...

howdy from Texas I am having trouble growing chaeto in the sump on my 126 gallon tank. It is well established tank with 9 small-med fish and one med-large trigger and is just at 1 year old. As I try to add chaeto it last about two weeks then turns into a green slime. Causing the water to...

I’ve been trying to grow chaeto for a couple of months. I have had to try a new batch three different times so far and it may look like I will need to start a new batch again. I just can’t get chaeto to grow at all. I thought at first my lighting was not enough so along with a 6500k led clip...

I have a Fluval M90 AIO tank. It has 4 chambers in the back. When I first set it up I was able to keep chaeto no problems and it grew really well. Recently I cannot keep it alive no matter what I do. I thought that I'd share my setup and some of the changes to see if maybe they are the cause of...
