    Chaeto is a Challenge

    I'm struggling to grow healthy chaeto. My nitrates are high. I originally had a large ball of chaeto in my Eshopps R-100 fuge section (10" × 7 " × 14"). It was under a Kessil H160. Par was pretty high (200-300 par?) And in the grow-bloom range. The chaeto ended up turning into a tight ball that...

    Requesting help identifying a potential issue in refugium macro algae

    Hi everyone, I have Sea Lettuce and Chaeto in my refugium (there are some other things in there if you wanna check out my build thread). I've started noticing these white, hair-like clumps in my sea lettuce. Can anyone identify this? Is it something I should be concerned about?
