Does anyone grow Chaeto only in a tank on it's own?
Just wondering if anyone grows chaeto only in a separate tank? I have an 11 gal tank that I was going to use as a QT tank but I thought of setting it up for just chaeto to test out different lighting options. any thoughts on what I need to set this up for growing just that?

Been thinking about getting a uv sterilizer
What is everyone’s thoughts on Uv sterilizers have been thinking about getting one for my aio 50 gallon lagoon. Will it help reduce algae? Will it take out to much good bacteria?

Algae removal in snail shells
Just got a shipment for snails and was dissapointed that some of the snails had some pretty bad algae on their shells. Can snails handle peroxide dip?

Flow in Fuge
Heya folks I was wondering what kind of flow should I have in my fuge? my first thoughts when I set it up was to give it very little flow, but now I am wondering if I should add a small powerhead. all my plans for the fuge were some Chaeto and pods for now.

Entry 1: I‘m building a frag tank in my basement this power head would compliment perfectly.
Entry 2: I clean my glass like every 3 days or so. I’m using a flipper currently.

If I were to win any of these prizes it would help my tank and my pocket massively with my new tank I’ve setup! I currently clean my glass with a hand held scraper with a metal blade, however constantly have to dunk my hand into the water to reach the bottom! I’ve been needing a magnetic version for ages however budget and saving for lights are killing me! I also have cheap wave makers that are a little underrated for my tank size and wave makers will also be an investment in the future! Here is a picture of the new tank before I made it cloudy with the sand!

Features
Care Magnet — Care for your aquarium
The Care Magnet concept was the signature innovation of 2014 in the field of window pane cleaner design, which is comprised of an ergonomic handle and special plastic blades made of wear-resistant high performance plastic.
Why care?
This glass pane cleaner avoids scratches on internal aquarium glass panes, and can therefor even be used on acrylic glass panes with the small plastic blade.
The inner magnet is more than 3 mm (.2") away from the aquarium and thus prevents the jamming of the aquarium sand. The two plastic blades remove the algae considerably better from the glass panes than a flat cleaning surface – almost as good as a sharp metal blade. The life of a blade is from several months up to approx. one year. The low flow resistance during the cleaning with a simultaneous high magnetic coupling, makes a separation of the magnet nearly impossible.
The large blade should only be modified with the included stainless steel blade for aquarium glass panes with particularly tough algae, e.g. older deposits on the side walls or thick calcareous algae.
The patented principle, which uses plastic blades with a different length, creates a varying application pressure, enabling the narrow blade to remove even tightly attached algae. With the wide blade, it is possible to perform a large-scale algae removal.
Thanks to its slim design, the plants and the corals will not be disturbed.
The Care Magnet can also be used on round aquarium panes or round-arched panes.
Plastic blades with round edges enable a smooth transition to the next pane at the aquarium edges without damaging the silicone joints.
It doesn't distribute the algae within the aquarium as a green dust; it rather roles them up completely, and through this turns the algae film into actual food for the fish.
It can also be used as a hand scraper.

Unpopular Opinion (maybe): Tangs
Large tanks full of rocks and corals with minimal room for tangs to swim are the same as a 55 gallon mildly stocked tank. Change my mind. I’m not talking about overstocking, but more like one yellow or purple tang in a smaller tank.

Refugium setup....can pods get through blue sponge
Trying to get my fuge set up I have chaeto and a tunze ultra chic 8831 submersible light. I have a few 4mm adult pods sitting on top of the sponge. I am wanting to populate my tank with pods. Do I need to adjust the sponge so that they will make it up my return pump? Some chaeto has separated...
