chaeto dying

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’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...
