chaeto

I have a 32g that is running a filter pad (carbon), a bag of red sea carbon and a thick sponge on the bottom of the basket. Below that basket I wanted to put a mini refugium but is it even worth it since it would set me back around $100? I plan on having 6 fish if that helps..

So my tank has had dinos for a few months, going from good to bad good to bad to worse, with recently being REALLLY bad. Here is a pic from a month or two ago. And here is what it looks like now. To be honest, im really not sure what I did. I manually removed it now and then. the biggest...

Im deciding on whether or not I want to set up a refugium. Really the decision is on how I want to set it up. I love the mandarian Goby (who doesn't) and feel like the best way to keep one is with a fuge. I had one for 2 years previously, but had to move and tear down the tank and sold him. I...

Hello, I've been looking all over for some chaeto. Most online retailers and local shops seem to be sold out! Was wondering if someone close to warren, mi would be willing to spare/trade some with me.

Hello, Can someone give me some advice on refugium lighting for my AI Fuge light and chaeto? I'm really trying to learn height from water, AI time settings, intensity, and spectrum. I've had a hard time finding this info using google. Thanks!

Hey Everyone, Hope you're staying cozy and safe with this weather! Reaching out because I'm in a bit of a pickle. I recently upgraded my set up and unfortunately it caused my Chaeto to crash. I've been having a heck of a time finding some replacement online, and my usual LFS are tapped as...

Hello All, Been at this over a year and like to learn so I practically visit reef2reef daily. I have a question I haven't seen answered here. I have for the last year had a 32 Gallon Refugium. It is a standalone and Macros such as Ulva, Chaeto, are growing well but I am not sure if this is a...

Hello all, I am looking into upgrading the stock filtration on my Fluval Evo 13.5. I have been running the stock system for around 1.5 years and I am not seeing the kind of results I would like to. I believe there are too many nutrients building up in the stock sponge. Here is the diagram of...

Hey all - Just received some chaeto and saw it had some red planaria flatworms in it. Unfortunately I had to buy from somewhere other than AlgaeBarn and ReefCleaners, as they were sold out every time I checked. I haven't put the chaeto in my sump yet, but wanted to get some input before I make...

Looking for chaeto for sale. Can not find it anywhere!

My phosphate has been terribly high for the past month hovering at around 50ppb or 0.153ppm. Testing is done using Hanna Phosphorus ULR checker. I finally set-up a fuge in the sump of my RedSea Reefer 170 (43g total volume). Within 3 days of having a large fist size ball of chaeto tumbling in...

Hello everyone, I've started my first saltwater tank (15gallon) with an aqua clear 30 hang on back filter. All of my water parameters are in check and the tank is cycled. I've converted my filter to have a space for filter floss, and space for some "clean chaeto". Currently, it is running a...

When should I add chaeto and start running my fuge? I don’t want to start to early and starve/kill it, but I don’t want to wait too long and give nuisance algae a foothold. I’ve started a new 30g tank with a 10g sump/fuge. My nitrogen cycle is complete and has been for a few weeks. Total cycle...

So I just picked up a jbj rf 65 all in one tank, and I’m thinking of using one of the chambers in the back to build a nano fuge. Will it even be beneficial with a smaller amount of chaeto? I do eventually want a mandarin golby, so I figure it would be a good spot to house copepods. Thoughts?

Hello! l am looking to set up a refugium in the back chamber of my biocube 32, I already have the intank media and fuge basket (got them both on a sale) and am wondering what sort of light would be good for this sort of setup. Not trying to grow anything crazy, just chaeto and try and get a...

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...

Hi I'm debating which HOB filter to buy. I was planning on turning them into DIY refugium with chaeto. I know the Aquaclear filters are super popular for the diy hob refugium but I seriously dislike that it doesn't self-prime. I have yet to see anySeachem tidal refugium diy which is why im...

Im running into a contradiction with my new tank. It's been up since June. I'm using a skimmer, a fuge, and filter socks. My filtration has done a great job of exporting nutrients, too good in fact. Both phosphate and nitrate are 0. They are definitely not truly 0 as I do have some algae, but I...

My cabinet is in the peninsula style, with doors on both sides of the cabinet. I obviously need a normal-sized sump, for protein skimmer, ClariSea, Return pump. But, next to the sump I could fit a narrow, tall tank to make a much bigger, taller refugium than I could have in-sump. For example: 7...

Hi, I have about 2 bags of chaeto about 3/4 of the quart size zip lock bag. I will be $10 plus shipping. Shipping is probably around $8-$14 via USPS flat rate box. Let me know your zip and I can give you a quote on shipping. Let me know if anyone is interested in it. Here is my paypal...

Hey all, I am restarting my small fuge (17G in one section of my sump in a 125G system). I have some Chaeto ordered, and I own a Kessil H380, it is 14" above the sump. I'm looking for suggestions wrt what type of acclimation period you would use so I don't burn the Chaeto?

I have been wanting to get a Chaeto reactor for some time now to help reduce nitrates and phosphates. I started looking online and noticed that they all have one thing in common... they are pricey. So I went on a hunt to build my own. FYI my take is about 54 gallons. Here are the supplies...

Hey everyone, i will soon be making this breeder tank my “hob” refugium and was wondering what i can add to it to make it most effective for its limited space. it is 0.5 gallons and measures 10”L 3.5”W 4”H. i think Chaeto is definitely in the plan (fuge is built primarily for nitrate removal)...
