chaeto

i’ve read pure white does fantastic, blue and red, red only, no less than 50% red etc. what lights/ light spectrum do you guys recommend from experience? is the most effective factor for growth proper current? thank you!

so i’m thinking of starting a refugium for my 30 gallon uni tank (built in sump) and i want to make sure my train of thought is making sense so far as i study refugiums. my plan is to use a 5 gallon tank and store it inside the cabinet my tank is on top of since i have no space elsewhere and the...

My grow light above my fuge has stoped working (FACiDA red 50w led) I was wondering if my Cheato would still be effective in my fuge without the light and if anyone has any recommendations for a new grow light

Selling an Innovative Marine 9W light specifically designed to grow chaeto. Bought it from Algae Barn three months ago. Lightly used and have original box as well as hardware that goes with it. Paid $70 for it but looking for $35 plus shipping. It is great for small spaces and you can mount it...

Was looking into lights for a refugium and remembered I had this Aqueon Planted Aquarium Light: It would be going on the back of a HOB refugium for my 45g AIO. Will this thing work for a refugium and growing chaeto? I'm new to refugiums so wasn't sure.

Got some Mostly Chaeto With Pods and other Macroalgae mix free for someone In need as I have started my fuge with donated Chaeto. Just Paying it forward to the next reefer. Pick up only. Not a lot but enough for a few reefers. I hate to throw things someone could use. PM me. Disclaimer: I...

Hello, I have a Fijicube 20 sump and have been using the refugium section for chaeto. This section measures 5.2" by 5.8" by 10" of water. I have been using this cheap grow light mounted to the sides of the refugium. It has been several months and the chaeto isn't really growing and the entire...

So I’m sure a bunch of you have seen @Bulk Reef Supply ’s videos on chaeto in a refugium and their graphs of nitrate and phosphate over time. Does anyone have anything similar for caulerpa? Or, anecdotal evidence for caulerpa to compare against chaeto in terms of phosphate and nitrate réduction...

Hello! I just bought some Chaeto from my LFS. Now I found 2 and some smaller see through things? (apart from a lot of other stuff that I could identify :rolleyes:) They sound very hard when dropped into the sink and they have one tiny hole in them. Could they be egg shells of some sort? Does...

Looking for a pax bellum arid 18 chaeto reactor.

This is an excellent condition/lightly used (1 month) Tunze 3181. Good for harvesting macro algae (best is Chaeto) for nutrient export. I used it for 1 month. Decided I prefer having a refugium so I could have other critters in there too, but this works fine if you need to save space/don't...

What's a good pump speed for a chaeto reactor? I'm using the AquaMaxx Media Reactor Standard with a pump at max power which is 260GPH. My reactor is on the ground of my AIO so it runs through a 5ft tube down then another 5ft back up. Is a strong pump fine for chaeto to grow because I also don't...

I have a Waterbox 20 Nano running a Tunze Algae reactor. The return for my reactor feeds into the same chamber as my return pump. Loose bits of chaeto are flowing into the chamber and eventually cause my return pump to clog (even with a cover on the intake). I was thinking a simple solution...

I’ve recently began my cycle 3 weeks ago for my saltwater aquarium. It’s an 80 gallon display with LS and LR, 20 gallon Sump. I have my refugium first and the chaeto is starting to Brown just a bit. A week ago, I inserted pods but prior to that the chaeto was super green. Why is brown starting...

I'm running an IM nuvo 20 and thinking of growing chaeto in one of the back chambers. I've come across two similarly-priced fuge light that are small enough to fit: -Innovative Marine ChaetoMax 2-n-1 LED -Tunze EcoChic Waterproof Refugium LED 8831 The Tunze light is submergible, which would...

I have a lot of hair algae in my chamber which I use as an refugium to grow chaeto. The chaeto grows very nicely but so as hair algae. It becomes very thick in less than a week everytime I clean it. My main display has little to no algae though. Just some on the glass. I run the light for my...

So. Background first. I have been keeping aquariums for most of my life, well, I mean the first 8 or so years obviously my parents were the ones actually dealing with the upkeep, but you know what I mean. However, it has always been only freahwater aquariums. That all changed November 2018. A...

I'm having some difficulties maintaining macroalgae growth in my refugium on a system that has been set up for over a year. I'm using the built in refugium section of a Red Sea Reefer 350 v3 with a Zetlight E200S light set on a reverse 14 hour photo-period at 100% intensity. The chaeto has been...

At least 1/2 of gallon bag for sale. 25$ shipped priority. Clean healthy tank full of pods.

Is a H350 magenta a good light for growing Chaeto? Thinking about getting one for my refugium, found one for $115. Worth the investment?

I need some ideas/advice on the best place to put a refugium in my nuvo lagoon 25’s sump section. If you have done it or know how you’re going to do it let me see/know please!!

Hello all, I have what seems to be chaeto growing off my rocks? I have a small refugium inside my sump in the back of my fluval evo 13.5; I’ve had some chaeto trickle into the display when I have the pump off (for feeding). I try cleaning it up as much as possible but I’m wondering if this will...

Hi fellow reefers. I have a situation that I would like confirmation that my logic is correct. I have the Neptune ATK (with 2 sensors) in my return pump area of my sump. It’s configured to run once an hour. I have Chaeto in my sump. It’s grown using the Kessil H380 from 10pm to 10am PST...

Hey guys, I’ve got the aqua top 29 gallon all in one. I want to start some sort of refugium, Is there a way to place chaeto in that small sump area, light it up,and have it stay healthy? Can it just roll around the tank? Any words of advice for more experienced saltwater keepers in greatly...

my chaeto is not bright green. I dont have a traditional baffled sump where I can "tumble" the chateo. its more in a refugium section of a 100g rubbermaid sump with good flow flowing thru it. my chaeto is covered with brown dead debris (maybe dead algae?) seems like chaeto acts more like a...
